For the SOMA from -current, in a terminal logged as ordinary user, show me no stations. Just the main screen, and the other sub-pages looks working, only the first menu item (change station) nope.
I.e. I changed theme to slack.

rxvt doesn't support utf8 and you aren't using a utf8 locale anyway. I will put in some checks to avoid this, but if you want to use utf8 then you need to:
Either:
Put 'export LANG=en_US.UTF-8' somewhere in your shell startup script (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc etc), or:
Edit /etc/profile.d/lang.sh and change it there for a system-wide setting.
Then you need to use a UTF-8 enabled terminal. There are a few that come with slack, like uxterm (basically utf8 enabled xterm), xfce4-terminal, konsole. Out of these I'd probably go with uxterm or xfce4-terminal. Konsole will probably want to bring with it a bunch of kde libs (unless you are already using kde and don't care?)
There are some out-of-stock terminals you could use, like Terminator (uses the vte plugin lib the same as xfce4-terminal), rxvt-unicode/urxvt (a closer match to rxvt and lighter than terminator/xfce4-term). Both terminator and urxvt are on slackbuilds.org (search for rxvt to find urxvt on slackbuilds.org).
If you want to enable utf8 in the plain linux (non-x) console then you can add vt.default_utf8=1 to the append list in /etc/lilo.conf.

This came in while I was typing to the previous Q.
But you are using the soma in -current now, or the updated one that I posted in this thread. The version in -current doesn't work properly because of changes in dialog that means my old method of using slashes in the station list no longer works. Since I found out that I've been developing soma in -current and then testing on 14.2.
The version in this thread ought to work. Please let me know.

No problem.

I talk about the one shipped by -current, not this 3.x series.
But how you are aware about issue, and hopefully is fixed into 3.x, I will upgrade it right now.
It was posted on this forum when I announced it. I made a current VM and did some debugging. I wasn't even aware that dialog was still being developed, but it is, and has changed since 14.2.
Long story short, the SOMA is impressive! Congratulations!
But I am a bit disappointed that it refuse to work as root, that I consider a sign of Fortress Syndrome.
Come on! What thing you consider I do more dangerous in that computer? Building the Apache Tomcat and all the JAVAish suite or listening in the same time to BBC Radio in a pair of desktop cases about 1W each one?
