It won't work well if you aren't allowed to use sudo or if you want to set up the environment for several users in a single pass. In your case, you probably ran ./setup.sh with root permission. You should try to run it as the normal user that will use Étoilé and type '1' when setup.sh requests you to choose a deployement style. > I would prefer to set things up manually > > • only setting the defaults accordingly > • using themes and fonts from /opt/GNUstep/System/Library (no copy of > the fonts/themse in any home directory) > • ... > > Any idea what could have gone wrong on my machine?

I currently have Basically you need to do everything done in setup.sh (not only setting the defaults) to get a usable environment, so I would strongly advise to use setup.sh. The only point you can avoid is to copy GNUstep tools in /usr/local/bin. The key steps are: - settings defaults - generating and installing 'etoile' startup script - installing etoile.desktop - installing SystemTaskList.plist - downloading and installing fonts I know setup.sh needs a lot of improvement. It's also on my roadmap to defer many things done currently in setup.sh to the environment launch time, it would make the installation less prone to failures.
