I didn't realize that you couldn't open the GemTools client ... I' ve 
only run GemTools myself on Ubuntu 16.04 ...

Here's the output of a GemTools on my Ubuntu16.04:

+ which zenity
/usr/bin/zenity

Here's the listing of the GemTools startup script:

    #!/bin/sh

    set -x

    # path
    ROOT=`readlink -f $(dirname $0)`
    LINUX="$ROOT/Contents/Linux686"
    RESOURCES="$ROOT/Contents/Resources"

    # icon (note: gvfs-set-attribute is found in gvfs-bin on Ubuntu
    # systems and it seems to require an absolute filename)
    gvfs-set-attribute \
    	"$0" \
    	"metadata::custom-icon" \
    	"file://$RESOURCES/Squeak.png" \
    		2> /dev/null

    # zenity is part of GNOME
    image_count=`ls "$RESOURCES"/*.image 2>/dev/null |wc -l`
    if which zenity &>/dev/null && [ "$image_count"  -ne 1 ]; then
    	olddir=`pwd`
    	cd "$RESOURCES"
    	image=`zenity --title 'Select an image' --file-selection --file-filter '*.image' --file-filter '*'`
    	cd "$olddir"
    else
    	image="$RESOURCES/GemTools-1.0-beta.8.7-32x"
    fi

    # execute
    exec "$LINUX/squeak" \
    	-plugins "$LINUX" \
    	-encoding latin1 \
    	-vm-display-X11 \
    	"$image"

.. and I'd think that you could just directly set the image file and 
skip the zenity code altogether and just use the line 
`image="$RESOURCES...` to set the image ... eliminating the zenity code 
works for my on Ubuntu 16.04 ...

It seems to be useful if you have multiple images in the resources 
directory ... I only have one...

Why are you trying to use GemTools when you have a tODE image available? 
Is tODE not installed in your 3.1.0.6 stone?
