OK, I checked the update-version in the downloads, just to make sure. Checks out, same as my original.
LOSI: I just disabled the omar-installation and installed LOSI. Works. So far I did not find a single bug :-D
But frankly it is really boring. The default-theme is horrible (hope I didn't offend anyone too seriously) :-)
I think that some other theme, or better even two or three, should be installed by default. Personally I found the austerity-theme a good choice for a startup-theme.
Sure, you can always install a theme, but it is much more impressive if you immediately get something colorful that demonstrates "by doing" what LS is about. With Desktops, theme-menu, hotkeys etc.
Look at it with the eyes of a newbie: you install this software that you heard so much about and what do you get? A single-colored desktop and by default almost no controls. Only the standard-menu, not even a theme-menu (or did I miss that?), and no menu button (I do miss that). And only ONE desktop??? What do I need LS for? YAWN!
The default-installation should by itself be the argument to use LS in the future.
That is the kind of thing I could imagine having a look at. No promises! But if someone could quickstart me on how to use the LOSI-source, I'd like to do some experimenting, just to get a feel for it.
