This was another good DWW. I didn't know GSB was already available for Slackware 13 until I read DWW. I installed it today and it has worked flawlessly. This is a good thing for those of us who prefer Slackware and GNOME.
Glad to hear GSB worked for you. Yours is the first report I've read for 13.0.
