It's all good, I uploaded the new README and libiconv*, as well as placed libiconv in the dep list of those that needed it by doing a quick ldd on them. I had tried e17 once or so before and did not like it, but this version is very nice and now my default desktop.
Oh, just a wish list item, if future e17 builds are on dCore with PAM enabled, the screen locking would work. I use xscreensaver for smaller desktops so no big deal to use it with e17. And I am good with PAM disabled if building on Core allows use of the packages on both systems.
