I tried to have a look last night and it seems some of it's dependencies (clutter) can't be installed since it requires newer glib than what we have in slackware 14.1.
Although it's easy to upgrade glib using Pat's Slackbuild, there might be side effects and many packages would need to be rebuilt, so i didn't continue looking at it, not until next Slackware releases at least
I tried to start building packages for cinnamon, but probably using an older version of clutter
Hope to publish the slackbuilds soon if it works for me
i think i'm stuck with cinnamon-settings-daemon which requires colord and turns out, it requires systemd
the cinnamon desktop won't start properly without cinnamon-settings-daemon
I do not remember properly, but I think colord doesnt have a hard dep systemd, in any case you have 2 options, use an older colord, or use Barts systemd packages. Another alternative can be to use or look at the scripts we use to build colord in droplinegnome.
I do remember something we had to do in the past, so I think we switched back to something like 0.0.26 version before the 1.0.0 , don't take my numbers as 100% correct.

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named gi.repository
I think this should be satisfied by pygtk, but eventually not
