I've installed GSB on Slack 13.1x86_64 and it's working perfect.
I'm coming from GSlacky and I find it a lot cleaner and really stable. The GSlacky has a little advantage that they've done some additional packages (pulseaudio, gslapt and etc) but you can get those working with GSB in no time.
I am doing a fresh install of Slackware64 13.1 on another pc and would like to add gsb 2.30. Would appreciate if someone could clarify the workflow of combining the stock 13.1 install with GSB 2.30 + alien's multilib + rworkman's xfce4 patches.
In what order should I apply them? Is it like this?

I didn't know there was a step 2 like that. I did step 1, then slackpkg upgrade, then alien's multilib, then installed the gsb; but before that, I installed slapt-get on its own.
Unless you actually *use* xfce some, none -- however, if you do use it, or if you use Thunar, then you'll want to grab my updated 4.6.2 package for 13.1; the gtk+2 upgrade in GSB causes some problems with Thunar in xfce-4.6.1.
Installed rarian but anjuta (and dependencies glade3) failed to compile. I used src2pkg to install scrollkeeper and glade3 compiled successfully, but anjuta didn't.

Here's the error message:
Are you trying to build this on a current or 13.1 box? Current just recently got a new gcc, and sometimes, certain packages fail to build for whatever reason.

as far as gnomeslackbuild is concerned, I, often, found myself going back and forth between gtk+2 versions offered by gsb, and the ones offered by the use of slackpkg. I suppose the next time I do a slackware install, I'd have to make a choice between updating via slackpkg vs. slapt-get.

Not exactly. There's something slightly different between the two files. My guess is the GSB version does something to enable better compatibility with all things GNOME. It's a toss up, I say, because some want GNOME in our slackware setups, but it won't be without a cost.
