Hi Jack,
I discovered this issue recently when working on updating the base again.
So... here is the issue...
JWM 2.4.0 IS actually now in the ToriOS repos... but it is a version
prior to JWM requiring the new config system which needs gettext >=0.19
(trusty only carries 0.18 Jessie carries 0.19 so I thought it would fail
because of trusty...)
Anyhow there are some MAJOR config changes which I needed to work around.
How to fix?
hopefully
torios-packagetool upgrade (aka sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade)
Please let me know if this works!

So....
