Yeah it should be possible and fairly easy to do. If you can't do it
by loading gtk/init.slate and then saving your image, then tell me.
After than (like demo.slate), you run this to start the gui:
Gtk Main do: [ Gtk Workspace new show ].

Currently, entering the gui is the point of no return. It should be a
fairly easy fix (for someone that understands gtk) to make it where
closing the last window puts you back into a slate prompt so that you
can save again. The reason you can't just save in the gui is because
the GUI code uses bytearrays with C pointers of gtk objects and if you
save a slate image in that code and have it resume (by starting slate
with that image), the resuming code will deref those invalid pointers
and crash.
