Or how to install dependencies:
Python (2.x / 3.x)
PyGObject
GTK+ 3
policykit

Python 2.7 package installed in system
PyGObject 2.28.6 & 3.4.0 package installed
GTK+ 3 - I do not know what to install
lxqt-policykit-0.11.0-i486-bundle.xzm package installed. I'm not sure if you need this

check /var/log/packages for what is already installed(before you start)
eg. python-2.7, gtk+3, polkit are part of the base modules..

generally means you need package:gobject-introspection

shouldn't need this, polkit should be enough..

pygobject3-3.28.3-x86_64-1.txz
gobject-introspection-1.56.1-x86_64-2.txz

cinnamon and mate with these packages - runs
kxde and openbox with these packages - does not start. There may be a reason in package versions or in other packages. In this I did not understand. I will use Mate.
