The following packages are also needed for “Whonix-Host” (and probably also Kicksecure?):
x11-xserver-utils "If x11-xserver-utils is not installed nothing happens after clicking on an option in the xfce logout dialogue. If logout is clicked again the message: Failed to log out. Session manager must be in idle state when requesting a shutdown comes up. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=902137
→ btw seems to be already installed by default on Whonix-Gateway/Workstation (at least the versions I have here)
gvfs " GVfs is a userspace virtual filesystem implementation for GIO (a library available in GLib). GVfs comes with a set of backends, including trash support, SFTP, SMB, HTTP, DAV, and many others. GVfs also contains modules for GIO that implement volume monitors and persistent metadata storage. There is also FUSE support that provides limited access to the GVfs filesystems for applications not using GIO." https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs

After some manual modifications (see above), I successfully built a 15.0.0.9-developpers-only ISO that successfully installed a “Whonix-Host” KVM virtual machine…
At first glance I have the impression that since my last tries (end of summer) there are a lot of “regressions” in terms of default desktop support (missing packages such as x11-xserver-utils, gvfs, pavucontrol… and other ones?), is it on purpose?
Next step: I will try a new build 15.0.0.9.3-developers-only and do a more in-depth report.

Booting the ISO works, however it ends at the lightdm login page (no auto-login or no live user creation). I guess it’s because you removed live-config package.
Installing live-config and reburning the ISO solved the problem, as expected.
