   When I 'enchanced' the OpenBox WM rescue w/ XFCE, the menu system   
   changed; I actually preferred the OB menus over what I got w/ the xfce   
   DE conversion because of its reorganization being suboptimal.   
      
   Sparky also offers the ability to write a Sparky to USB for live w/   
   persistence.  Since the main two things I need were the ability to set   
   the time and sticky keys, I can get sticky keys from installing xkbset   
   and I can set the tz w/ timedatectl set-timezone.   
      
   Sparky default already has xkbset.  Unfortunately the 'conventional'   
   concept of 'persistence' is operative here, which is not the type I   
   want.  That weak persistence just provides a partition to park something   
   like data, instead of persisting anything that has to do w/ the system.   
      
   The best kinds of persistence for my purposes is the types of   
   persistence which are generated by mkusb, puppy, or MX linux.  This data   
   space is useless for my purposes.  Since mkusb can be used w/ Debian, my   
   next strategy now that Sparky usb imaging persistence and Rufus usb   
   persistence have both failed is mkusb.
