You should always run this type of command under root account from terminal

I believe that, when faced with unresolved dependencies in a binary, PPM will search the slackyd 13.37 repos to resolve deps (which would not include a search through 12.2). If this is the problem at hand, PPM should be updated/fixed to issue a warning and fail gracefully instead of hanging.
In the short term, try manually searching for and installing libgeda and libstroke from the slackware 12.2 repo (this can be done through PPM -- in one of your screenshots, libgeda and libstroke are listed), then try installing geda.
This would also explain why slackyd continues to fail when searching for libgeda and libstroke. Looking at slackfind.net and pkgs.org, I don't see geda or libgeda included in slackware 13.37 (official or slackyd).
Check .desktop files and run binary from console to see why.gedasche still ends in Lost & Found w/o launching.

Also it may be that you need the Cyrillic vector font.
