Only images built as official have the logo.

This is a problem introduced by outsourcing the DejaVu font packages. I
have argued [unsuccessfully] that it be a hard dependency, to avoid problems
such as this. You'll need to install the font package and change your settings.
I believe `pkgman install dejavu` should resolve this issue.
There might also be an issue with your build profiles if a recently hrev doesn't
include the DejaVu fonts correctly. I'm not familiar with this change, so will
defer to someone else to answer :-)

This is likely a regression worthy of a bug report (if one hasn't been done). I
also experience this issue: the link light on my NIC doesn't even light up until
a few seconds after the desktop appears.

No, you should file a bug report. We have a limit of 5MB for an attachment, so
size is generally not a limitation.

Hope that helps some,
