For me, it's also about having a live OS that I can take with me and use on someone else's computer or use as a rescue and repair system.

Aha, reading that helped me put things into perspectivemost common use case for the pseudo-distro, Refracta
"showcase" as in, all the xfce goodies installed nad xfapplet + superbar (gnome-do) installed to an xfce4-panel... but that's moot, in light of the above description of the intended use case.What would a showcase of a xfce powered environment look like anyway?
heh, I hear ya!why I probably do not use other distros is that I often work harder at undoing what they have 'fixed'

you'll need to pin the sid packages in when building a wheezy image.

Having rebuilt refracta-wheezy-beta2-20121117_2253 with live-* from sid I'm doing much better and now got persistence working. (my lenovo keyboard works too!)
wheezy live-boot is 3.0~a35-1 28 Jun 2012 There have been 10 newer versions in sid since then, currently 3.0~b7-1 Even with sid version I only got live-hooks working by hacking lib/live/config.sh
