After playing around with my newly install Compiz on Slack-current, I decided to try rebuild the entire DLG from source.
Hey, since I had successfully upgraded my Slack11 to Slack-current, I think rebuilding DLG with new gcc and X should improve overall performance.
Oh, ya, Slack 12 RC1 has been released, and, DLG finally reached beta! Hurrah!
Edit: I just discovered that Drivel (comes with DLG) can remotely update my WordPress blog!
