Wasn't there something about xconf?

Yes, my attempts to check the wicd "switch off wifi" box were ignored.
(ed:  I should clarify that I don't test wireless unless something passes a lot more testing - I'm just reporting what the UI shows.)
For that matter, wicd_network-manager doesn't re-connect timely or consistently - on eth0/wired, at least.
I have to stop whatever I'm doing, go up to the icon (or a rolled-up window-title-bar) and click to force it.
In my experience, nothing (devuan or derivative or conversion) using it has behaved any differently.
The few derivatives I found using connman-ui had no problem re-connecting; thus my current preference for that option.
(Speaking of options, if I only have wired hardware, why install wicd and default to wireless-only?  I saw no option…)

Thanks for pointing out the LXDE option on the DVD!

Even if your goal is a custom version of the live ISO you start from?
I did use refractasnapshot-gui on a live derivative ISO with openbox and connman-ui and made a slightly different version.  Hope springs!
(I may have to study the custom setup for the live ISO user.)

… because they believe proprietary extremism works in their favor.

This may help.  Until our hardware is as open as our software can be, we'll always be relying on the integrity of manufacturers.

Perhaps Linux_Mint devs will come up with a per-app way to skin/theme X-apps?

Small point of reference:  this finds matching packages in oldstable/wheezy, testing/stretch, and unstable/sid - but not in stable/jessie.  Go figure.
OhTheOtherHand, there are packages aplenty in stable/jessie for either sqlite xOR odbc - just not both.
Life gets complicated.

GNUinOS is a Libre Devuan-derivative; enjoy!

If you wish, you can choose to add the FSFLA's Libre-kernel repository; surely there's a way (tutorial/wiki/Full-Manual?) to use it.
If you wish, you can choose to use only the "main" category of packages (or "main" and "contrib", for that matter).
If you wish, you can choose to review the license for each package as you consider using it, though such research isn't easy.
   Different jurisdictions view licensing (and trademarks, and patents, …) differently.
(whew!)

Meanwhile, please respect others' freedom to make their own choices, especially when you don't agree; it's their right.
There are many examples of a "Benevolent Dictator" curating a valuable toolset, including mentoring other curators.
Sadly, there are more examples of Freed Open-Source Software made almost completely unsupportable by extremism.

If cleaning smudges and scratches isn't enough, I find playback smoother if I expand the amount of time to buffer, or just rip to better storage with, say, handbrake.

My local library has DVDs.

Can you get version 3.x at videolan.org?

While running a live system, have you tried editing /etc/refractasnapshot.conf to redirect work_dir and snapshot_dir to enough R/W-mounted (Linux filesystem storage to hold a copy of the (unsquashed!) filesystem plus the ISO?

So, one of the minimal-live ISOs just released, with Xorg+wm added?  connman too?  Or a tree/list of options to add?

For those who insist on more than suckless surf there's Midori or QupZilla or maybe just dillo or netsurf?
In the long run, though, maybe best to use a fire-jail'ed browser cloud VM/appimage instance?
