Thanks a lot. I will look through these links and hope I will understand better then :-)
I hope it works nicely with a read-only rootfs. It seems to write to its own config data (which is a strange behaviour). Do you by chance know, why it depends on the xuser-account package? I don't want any additional user accounts on my system. If it is not essential I would remove it.
