I think the Kedama in SqueakLand Squeak has been updated from the one  
in the Extramadura version,

Kedama is, as much as I know, not available for 3.8. (maybe there is  
an old version somewhere).

In 3.9, we put some effort into merging  all changes from squeakland  
and extramadura into the standard Squeak release.
Sadly 3.9 brakes backwards compatibility for project loading (.pr  
files)... this is unfortunate, and I don't know if this will ever get  
fixed.

A problem is a bit that both the squeakland and extramadura people  
did not join the 3.9 effort in any way, so all the eToy things are  
very likely
not much tested.
