On many xorg environments, GUI apps may not run. The solution is to run xhost +local:$(whoami) before starting any GUI app.

It would appear the paths for the man pages have changed, they were moved into a sub-directory named man1; these lines need changed on the PKGBUILD for the package to build:

 package() {
   install -Dm755 "$srcdir/$_pkgname/apx" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/apx"
-  install -Dm644 "$srcdir/$_pkgname/man/apx.1" "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/apx.1"
-  install -Dm644 "$srcdir/$_pkgname/man/es/apx.1" "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/es/man1/apx.1"
+  install -Dm644 "$srcdir/$_pkgname/man/man1/apx.1" "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/apx.1"
+  install -Dm644 "$srcdir/$_pkgname/man/es/man1/apx.1" "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/es/man1/apx.1"
   install -Dm644 "$srcdir/config.json" "$pkgdir/etc/apx/config.json"
 }

I'm not aware of any side-effects from doing this, but I am still seeing the man pages on my system after installing the most recent build.
