but i still have some problems:
1. my power manager could not show in my panel
2. killall5 is not the proper way to logout
3. i could not enable power button(turn-off restart etc.)
4. the launcher with "sudo" is not working. (sudo wvdial)
5. pcman could mount folders only in root mode.
6. no desktop not shown
7. i could not customise the clock
