For (b), I agree. For (a), I had that with lxde. I changed the
config file to just use xfce - Now, xfce shuts down [ drops back to
a tty in a second or two, puts out a message, then nothing until it
powers off. Similar behaviour to gdm when I abandonned that - ok
unless the initscripts break ;)
Probably also reboots from xfce, but I haven't tried that recently.

Probably not, although the naming might mislead people about where
/usr/lib/sqlite3.8.6 came from. I assume that building the lib from
within sqlite, as we did for a few hours, might change that : I will
have to check which box I did that on - at the moment I'm
*struggling* with a lualatex font problem [ looks as if
luaotfload-tool will fix it, but now my script is dieing ] and it
might be a while until I get around to checking.

For No.3, no opinion - it doesn't appear to affect anything I'm
currently using.

Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
Sometimes she went to bed as early as 6 a.m.
