So, here is Salix Xfce 14.0.1RC2. Compared to the RC1, released about a week ago, the only difference this one has, is an updated icedtea-web package, as it was discovered that the one that was in RC1 didn't really work. Also, the screensaver should be disabled by default now, as it seems there were a few cases with some graphics cards acting up with certain 3D screensavers. So, this is probably the safest way to avoid any crashes. Any users that want to enable the screensaver can certainly do it from the respective entry in the Settings menu in Xfce.
You can download both 32bit and 64bit releases through Sourceforge.
32-bit, i486:
Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/salix/f ... o/download
md5sum: 6acd88d1c2f27a249048844de2ca8eac
64-bit, x86_64
Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/salix/f ... o/download
md5sum: 3026cf8002c3d1c34767661813218606
Hopefully this will be released in a few days time as 14.0.1 final.
Thanks for testing!

Re: Salix Xfce 14.0.1RC2
I've experienced no more freezes. I should say I'm using the upgraded rc1.
My only uncertainty is regarding the screensaver. It works fine if turned on in the menu, or via xscreensaver-demo. But on reboot, it is off again. Is this as expected? Is there a way to set it up as a service, or some other approach to make sure it just works (as most users will wish to do)?
It occurs to me this may have something to do with using Xmonad. When I'd used xfce for some time with no further crashes, I returned to xmonad to see if that was what had been causing them; but everything is still fine in that department, so apparently not.
Using xmonad before the upgrade of the setting package, the screensaver worked normally.
