I run dotnew after update and it founds slapt-getrc.new and rc.M.new files, but it won't replace the old config files with these new ones and doesn't show the differences.

?

So we(gapan mostly ) managed to found the problem that was because I was using different GTK2+ theme than default Salix installation has(I was using gotchione from Vector Linux). Somehow that brakes gtk? So what we learn is that some themes other than what we have on default Salix installation might do that.

SOLVED

I had a similiar problem with another program. Perhaps your theme gives some error messages? Are you missing something for your theme? To solve my problem I had to update murrine-engine.

Yes, thenktor, it was a message similar to yours about a missing murrine engine or something.
