I accommodated the tutorial to reflect the names displayed in the library 
chooser. By the way: How can I set similar names that deviate from the 
path for my local libs?

The symbol contains the slot definition. However, the slot attribute is 
not visible. So it is not copied to the instance in the schematics. You 
can add it manually:

1) Select the instantiated symbol in the schematic.

2) Type ee to bring up the attribute editor

3) Choose "slot" from the drop down list of attribute names.
 
4) Type 1 in the value field

5) press the add button. The instance of the symbol immediately updates 
accordingly -- No need to close the attribute editor dialog.

Following the principle of least surprise, the slot attribute should be 
effective automatically, when working with the default library. However, 
the slot attribute is invisible in all the slotted symbols of the default 
library I checked. I'd volunteer to change the slot attribute of all 
these  symbols to visible. How would this enter the distribution? My 
local source was downloaded via git. How would I go ahead and communicate 
the necessary changes?
