Hi Nio,
Thanks for testing this!
There are (indeed) a few issues to be solved.
I will reply inline below

@Ali,
Nio is right.  This one is much closer to what we will be releasing.
I wanted to fix some of the issues so we could test things more heavily.
Before we release the final Beta.

This is a bug.  I meant to rebuild torios-core to include the newer
jwmrc with the nm-applet.

This is a bug.  I will have to find out why this keeps happening.
running
jwm-settings-manager -r
should fix it.... but this should not happen :)

Oops... there was a lot going on with partition-help I will relook at this

thank you, I will make sure to modify this.
I think I will find out if the user is root, and then if not find gsku,
and if not show an error

This is intentional, but I think maybe we should start it with both

Yes it is more.  I had to add polkit in to make synaptic-pkexec work.  I
may do something different here... but I am not sure what.

I do not know how to disable it.  This uses the LXMenu, which we do not
have.
I do not like the tree view for new users, as I think the 'Places' view
is more comfortable to people who do not know the Linux directory hierarchy.
A windows user will not know how to mount a device.  Clicking their USB
is much easier.
