"I have seen reading somewhere that fanthom does not intend to keep slackyd in version 1.0"
hmmm... i think it wasn't me
i like slackyd very much for the '-d' option and i'm willing to keep in Porteus for a long time.
"-at booting still in cli mode, there are a few funy caracters (...@ or the sort)"
some processes are launched in the background to speed up getting into GUI. Could you try to discover from which precess they are coming? i have made cups starting script silent and could do the same for others if needed.
"-for naive users not used to root privileges, the file psswd.xzm needs root privileges to be displaced into /porteus/modules. I imagine that this has to be automated."
ok will add extra question for moving passwd.xzm to /porteus/modules
"And what about rights from guest to insert other modules into /porteus/modules?"
must be done from root account i'm afraid
"-if we want non-root, we will be stuck with extra procedures all the time"
that's how unix like system works (vide sudo, SUID, etc...)
@ponce
"I prepared some new lxde packages on slackware 13.37"
well done
just testing....
"substitute the pcmanfm package with this one for not having the warning during use as root"
i like the root warning - it let's you recognize which pcmanfm instance has root privs. i'm staying with original one.

"Why , when I starting LXDE , I haven't FR in keyboard layout ?"
will check what's the max number of layouts possible, but i think it's 4 only
@jcuk
Vbox problem resolved - i have left accidentally some *.cache files in /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/mime. GUI in Slackware-13.37 doesn't like cache files which are sneaked into fs (while modules are activated) and it's causing a hang.
This is a new rule for creating xzm modules now:
All *cache files must be removed from xzm, especially:
- /etc/ld.so.cache
- /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
- /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep
- whole /usr/share/mime folder
i have updated /usr/bin/changes-time.sh script respectively.
Once again - thanks for bug report. you have saved us a lot of possible troubles
Cheers
