Update to Alien's ARM which allows XFCE to run on an ARM ChromeBook.

This large update brings Alien's ARM repository almost to the same level
of package versions in slackware-current. THese updates were needed to
make it possible to start a functional XFCE session on Samsung's ARM
ChromeBook (XE303C12).

+NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all
+times.  The point of NetworkManager is to make networking configuration and
+setup as painless and automatic as possible.  NetworkManager is intended to
+replace default route, replace other routes, set IP addresses, and in general
+configure networking as NM sees fit (with the possibility of manual override as
+necessary).  In effect, the goal of NetworkManager is to make networking Just
+Work with a minimum of user hassle, but still allow customization and a high
+level of manual network control.
+
+You will probably want to install network-manager-applet (for a configuration
+UI) for sure, along with ModemManager (if you want support for configuring
+broadband modem connections) perhaps one or more of the VPN-related addons.
+
+You will also need to start rc.networkmanager during boot - you can use
+rc.local, or perhaps you'll want to edit rc.M's call to rc.wicd...  :-)
