well, your machine does not hang, oroborus simply does NOT contain  
any menu-stuff, or anything to change the Background.
Its just a windowmanager, nothing more.

I guess you might want to use it with gnome or maybe want to start  
more things in your .xinitrc (like keylaunch, deskmenu or such things.)

Btw. the current Oroborus release is 2.0.15
