Sorry, I didn't announce that I've already uploaded the new versions of 
my packages.
They don't depend on ivman anymore (indeed, it even conflicts), but 
rather depend on dbus (>=0.33). I know it isn't in debian stable yet, 
but it's only the package "rox-app-devicehandler" that depends on it, so 
you should still be able to install all the other rox-* packages.
If you have stable, it's best to start with rox, rox-desktop-core and 
rox-applets, maybe also rox-menu-method and rox-xdg-defaults, then try 
to install every rox-app-* package you want to have. For a better look, 
I also suggest arwagner-icon-theme, gtk2-theme-clearlight and 
rox-wallpapers.
Maybe I should also create a rox-desktop meta-package that doesn't 
depend on rox-applet-devicehandler.

Indeed. (I didn't claim the opposite.) But I'll try my best to make it 
work with stable, though I'm only running unstable here.

Sorry, rox-applet-devicehandler only works with testing and unstable so far.

I changed the dependencies of rox-app-system to libgtop2-2|libgtop2-5 in 
order to support stable. Does it work now?

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for reporting!
