I used the fix you posted to update qt5 as you mentioned and it worked
for me to.  Gui quite improved.

To answer one question you mentioned. Yes time slider is available on
the desktop.  The Timeslider is on the desktop upper right and works
by press right mouse while its on Timeslider

It then appears and has you sign in for root then shows the full gui.

What I notice is the graphical slider is so maladjusted as to be on
the point of useless.

The handle of slider on right side of Timeslider gui is the same size
as the track it is to slide on so nearly useless for navigating the
list of zfs fs. To get thru the full set of FS you have to use the top
tiny arrow and it is so slow as to make you insane pretty quickly.

Please tell me there is some other way to make zfs fs either
non-snapshot-able or add it to auto snapshot in timeslider. And do
this from the command line.  That issue is supposed to be the topic
this thread is addressing.
