Known issues (and fixes)
It's advised to use UTF-8 as character encoding, especially for Western Europeans users (some translation are not well displayed in settings widgets).
Tips
PCManFM-qt is able to use UDisks2 service (for removable storages), install sysutils/bsdisks.
Starting the desktop
Using .xinitrc
% echo 'ck-launch-session /usr/local/bin/startlxqt' > ~/.xinitrc
Do not use ck-launch-session if you are using slim, slim uses consolekit on its own.
