Updated BLFS Packages - Desktop

We are using a slightly different install procedure this time. We are starting with GTK, then installing the Dependencies, and then moving on to applications. I put Openbox and Slim under that category, so here we go with the streamlined install now that the dependencies are taken care of:

cd /sources/desktop
wget http://download.berlios.de/slim/slim-1.3.2.tar.gz
wget http://openbox.org/dist/openbox/openbox-3.4.11.1.tar.gz
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/obmenu/obmenu-1.0.tar.gz
wget http://openbox.org/dist/obconf/obconf-2.0.3.tar.gz

cd /dev/shm

tar -xzvf /sources/desktop/slim-1.3.2.tar.gz 
cd slim-1.3.2 
sed -i -e "s:^MANDIR=.*:MANDIR=/usr/share/man:" -e "s:/usr/X11R6:/usr:" Makefile 
sed -i -e 's#X11R6/##g' -e 's#/usr/bin:##' -e 's/# daemon/daemon/' slim.conf
make $CORES_TO_USE 
make install 
cat >> /etc/inittab << "EOF"
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null 
EOF
cd .. 
rm -rf slim-1.3.2

tar -xzvf /sources/desktop/openbox-3.4.11.1.tar.gz
cd openbox-3.4.11.1
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-session-management
make $CORES_TO_USE
make install
cat > /root/.xinitrc << "EOF"
# Begin .xinitrc file
#xterm  -g 80x20+0+0   &
#xclock -g 100x100-0+0 &
exec openbox-session
EOF
cd ..
rm -rvf openbox-3.4.11.1

mkdir -p ~/.config/openbox
cp /etc/xdg/openbox/*.* ~/.config/openbox
cat > ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml << "EOF"

tar -xzvf /sources/desktop/obmenu-1.0.tar.gz
cd obmenu-1.0
python setup.py install
cd ..
rm -rvf obmenu-1.0

tar -xzvf /sources/desktop/obconf-2.0.3.tar.gz
cd obconf-2.0.3
./configure --prefix=/usr
make $CORES_TO_USE
make install
cd ..
rm -rvf obconf-2.0.3

Remember to nano both /etc/slim.conf and /etc/inittab, and to change the settings therein confirm to the instructions here.
