Most everything is running good here, except for some minor stuff I've encountered (I've still a lot to test, want to do a remaster and also use some of other sfs scripts).
So far, here are the few that are confusing me, some easily solved, others not so sure:
1) in /root/tint2launchers, when you add Htop (by copying it) from the /usr/share/applications folder, and then restart tint2panel, it appears, but it will not launch from the tint2panel. Yet, weirdly, it launches fine from its menu setting and also from the /usr/share/applications folder. Brings up the question then: should I not be adding things directly to the 'tint2launcher' (going through Rox) and instead be using some menu for it somewhere? I deleted and added other things this way on the tint2panel, and all was fine with them. {EDIT: add "htop" to this list; you can copy & put inside 'tint2launcher', it will run 1st time, but if you "re-start tint2' via desktop right-click, htop will no longer open when clicking on the tintpanel you put it in.]
2) Gparted in /usr/share/applications needs a small tweak to its .desktop file. It currently has: "Exec=gparted-pkexec". Would not work if dragged to desktop and/or placed in tint2launcher. Change it to: "Exec=gparted %f", and Gparted works everywhere.
3) I notice on some menus that either GTK Dialog (or is it YAD dialog??) is not allowing for normal functioning of the app's menu: For example, like dragging columns back and forth by re-sizing them. Open Synaptic, and try to adjust the columns width, you'll see what I mean. This is also is appearing in other apps menus. Is or was this by design? Not a major thing to me, just never remember it happening before in previous XenialDog
4) This last one might be my own stupidity, I don't know: I launched the Cairo minimal dock, but then could not get rid of the tint2panels. How is one supposed to ask or set them not to run? I can't turn off them off "selectively" in Openbox configuration, can I? Also, maybe related, but once Cairo is up and running, and you right-click it to stop it, nothing happens. It just keeps running and doesn't go away from the desktop...and tint2panels start appearing, with both Cairo & tint2 panels locked on the desktop with no ability to remove either.
Lastly, wanted to ask separate questions:
1st) Is there a small firewall script (like in other pups) that we can use? I know UFW, Firewalld, Shorewall, NUFW, and UFW are available, along with iptables, from Synpatic, but they take up a large amount of room. Just downloading UFW alone is a ~25MB download that takes up ~79MB of space. Wanted to check if something is included first, or if you know of something with a small footprint (like Bob's Firewall in the pups)
2nd) I notice in "MENU",---"OTHER", there is an entry for "Clear Changes at Reboot". Not to sound or be stupid or anything, but exactly what does this mean and what does it do? For example, if I've made a bunch of changes, and want to go back to the original settings (as it was the day before), do I just hit this button and it magically happens?? This would be great, especially for those of us that use Porteus boot where it saves on exit. But I've a feeling I am misunderstanding this, and hoping for too much
P.S. When I booted up today, everything had saved from yesterday...woohooo So the save occurred like you said. No reason for me to download the new ISO now...unless you forgot some other major thing (haha, just j/k-ing ya!)
