Hi Nio,
This is great news!!
All I need to do is get Networking working again :D
I am currently tidying up jwm-settings-manager a bit... It is a bit 
cumbersome going through the code, as I have learned a lot since 
originally creating it.  But there are some issues that need to be 
addressed, and I am making it more compatible for non-ToriOS users (not 
requiring hardcoded programs in the default themes...)
Anyhow, I will boot the old HD later and rebuild things soon.
