6) [SHOWSTOPPER] Either libSM or libICE got silently miscompiled. This results in ICE connections to XFCE session manager being refused with a long timeout, and finally a "do you really want to quit?" dialog box appears instead of the usual shutdown dialog that asks whether to end session, reboot or shut down.
Sorry for the panic. I attempted to do the upgrade by removing /usr/X11R6, building the modular X.Org with the /usr prefix, and expecting programs to "just work". That was wrong. The problem was that xfce4-session package looks for the "iceauth" binary at ./configure time and hard-codes that path in the xfce4-session binary. Since after the upgrade there was no /usr/X11R6/bin/iceauth binary, things stopped working. Recompilation of the xfce4-session package fixed this problem.
So I am ready to write the Makefiles for the full OpenGL-enabled X.Org 7.0 with the /usr prefix for the LiveCD, but I am not sure that it is exactly what we want. Should I attempt to strip down the installation as much as possible by omitting unused modules? I expect to reduce the CD size by 30-40 megabytes as the result, but it would take some time.
