One of the objectives of the stable releases is to offer a higher level 
of quality than the rolling release. Only packages that are well 
maintained and known to work should be considered part of the stable 
release. The packages that I have already included are the ones I 
thought reasonable to assume to be in a good enough shape.

Which other packages do you need for DrGeo? We'd review them for 
quality, and add them. I really need to know this in order to be able to 
help.

You say "now the fullscreen resize is effective only later". Is this due 
to changes in the Linux startup script? The only relevant changes to 
that file are
https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/commit/2ef28c221e5db84b05f849141896222b971c611f#diff-829ae88058002c7284027f40ba713fc097831538a4e5339ef17901ed3d7f9f66
and
https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/commit/09a1340e7bc19d88b88a6c71e0e924b3498dfc77
You can experiment with them.

Or the reason is some update to the Cuis image? If so, can you isolate 
the change set that generates this behavior? It should be something 
after the last 6.3RR on which you were able to run your configuration 
script. You may try loading them in batches, and find out which one is 
responsible.
