I installed a new system with Slack 9.1 CDs early this week and
everything worked fine. Then I grabbed swaret and tried to update
everything to slackware-current. Couldn't get the new Alsa to work, and
the new GNOME also seems to be majorly broken on my machine, bc only
very few icons and graphics-related stuff is displayed (for example
gThumb displays no images). I'm assuming I'm missing some deps, although
I did run Swaret with dep resolution enabled (it said it resolved some
deps, but it doesn't seem to resolve all of them).

I have had similar problems with Swaret on one occasion in the past, so
either I have it misconfigured (although it is not apparent to me how)
or this tool is not-so-hot. It has always worked fine for getting
security updates and patches within the version installed from CD.

I am currently in the process of letting Garnome compile the new GNOME
from source and we'll see how that works.
