[Solved] Choosing Window Manager from Boot Menu
Montserrat:
Thanks, Rich.
I'm doing that all now, and am patiently waiting at the 'Formatting /dev/sdc1' message in the installer window.
I'll update on progress when that completes .... zzz...

The Gnome folks split that library into a separate source package, breaking many applications. See here.
I contributed gdk-pixbuf2-xlib for TCL15 x86_64, and gdk-pixbuf2 depends on it as to avoid breakage. It seems TCL15 x86 needs someone to contribute gdk-pixbuf2-xlib.tcz to the repo. I'd do it but I have a son in the hospital, so no time for extension submissions at the moment.
Montserrat:
Thank you for the information, GNUser, not that I could do much with it as yet but I just wanted to say my thoughts are with you and your family and thank you so much for taking the time to post that message at what is surely a difficult and worrying time. Eventually I might get to a point where I'm useful to the community, as opposed to a burden, but for now huge thanks and my very best wishes.
GNUser:
Thanks, Montserrat. Finding and reporting problems is very useful to the community and not a burden to anyone :) I hope you're up and running soon. Welcome to TCL.

Hi C,
Yes, I agree, the simple ones are what I like best. It, to me at least, seems to all tie in with the TCL ethos of small and lightning fast.
I love the idea of a small, fast OS that I can configure to my exact needs as opposed to having a machine with the latest 'bells and whistles' that I'll only use 1% of.
That's exactly why I'm here, and loving every minute of it.
