I have uploaded a new build of gksu (2), which should fix the Root Terminal issue reported by Philianc on AlienBOB's blog

Issue: Root terminal will try to run gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator, which doesn't exist in Slackware
Solution: replace x-terminal-emulator with mate-terminal

please test both in mix build and also full build of GTK+3.

Newbie alert: I have little experience with git

I have compiled 32 bit MATE-GTK3 from willysr's slackbuilds using the process I mentioned above as described in my post 19 in this thread...

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5542175

What do I do now to update the compilation?

I'm guessing that I do a git pull/checkout GTK3 again to get updated slackbuild scripts.

Do I then build the lot and see the unchanged slackbuilds ignored or do I just run the slackbuild script for the changed gksu package and then upgrade/reinstall?

I'm guessing the latter.

Cheers

assuming you have cloned my GTK3 branch, you just need to run

Code:

git pull

cd deps/gksu

su

sh gksu.SlackBuild

upgradepkg /tmp/gksu-*2_msb.txz

Sorted, thanks
