Adventures (game incompleted) in refracta (devuan) with mintification

Been having lots of fun with refracta devuan. Started with xfce, removed all and installed mint artwork from LMDE 4 debbie

Because later icons do not work properly with mate panel notification area.

So WHY does my notification area have wrong icons?

Turns out devuan have crossported mint-y-icons

Attempt 2: refracta NOX i386

Lovingly added xorg and desktop bits on eee pc taking a long time.

Resulting in the most effed of all effed desktops. Couldn't login, /home/eee was showing as /home/[tofu]4eee

Started x as root, renamed [tofu]4eee to eee

On ctrl+alt F2 user eee autologsin to cli but cannot startx and has no /home directory

But I had the right icons this time

Will not be seeking remedy, as the audio settings persistence bug in mate is still present.
