Still more to go, I am trying to track down the ztweaks issue you are
having.
I know I could just look in the source, (which I may) but do you run
`ztweaks auto`
as your command?

Indeed, but I need to figure out of to package the newer version of
JWM.  Some things have changed in the way they use autoconf to build. 
Certain things are no longer there, and must be generated, so I will
have to spend some time working on getting it packaged.  There have been
a lot of really great features and bug fixes introduced in the past few
weeks.
Once I get that working I will at least upgrade to Wily as not much will
change feature-wise since the main change will be systemd.  Though, the
Shutdown/reboot dialog is already working with systemd.  I was using
Utopic before that computer's display started dying...

I just tested it and the mkhelp text is fixed, and all looks about the
same size.  I think the dark red is easier on they eyes as well.  So, I
will work on finding the issue with jwm-settings-manager and maybe build
a new ISO for this weekend.

Indeed. You could separate functions into different files, and install
them in /usr/share/mkusb and have redundant functions as a file to
source.  Just a thought from the OBI adventures we've had :)
