Where are the launchers?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Xfce 4.14
When I right click on the desktop and select
"Create Launcher", Xfce lists various launchers
already installed in the system. Where are these
launchers located? .config? .local?
Many thanks,

USB ports frequently disconnecting
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I have a whole slew of these messages in the journal:
00:00:11 Bree upowerd[2067]: treating change event as add on /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-0:1.0
The specific usb hub changes from time to time, i.e. it's not always
the same device, (and doesn't seem to be related to my external powered
hub). A Google search turned up this:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=345031
Before I start messing around with my BIOS, has anyone seen something
similar?

How do I set foreground and background in mate terminal?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
In xfce-terminal, in Edit--> preferences, I can set
my forgoudnand background colros anas well as font
size.
In mate-terminal, I have edit profiles, etc. Seems like
it would affect other things than just mate-terminal.
Also, is there a generic terminal I can install similar
to xfce-terminal?
Many thanks,

problem with thunderbird 91.1.0 folder handling
by Eyal Lebedinsky
Since the recent update to tb 91.1.0 I have the following issue.
I have a folder "correspondence" which includes about 140 sub-folders.
When I receive mail the message filters deliver each message to the selected folder. This works well and is still done properly.
However, the main correspondence folder may indicate that it has, say, 6 unread messages but only 4 of the
sub-folders show one message each. The only way (I found) to find the other two is to hit 't' and allow
it to proceed to the next unread repeatedly. This will properly show the six unread but also mark them read
which is not what I want (I keep some unread messages for later attention).
This is f34, fully updated and upgraded for too many years to remember. I very much do not want to install
a fresh tb, then maybe find the problem is not resolved anyway.
TIA

Issues With Thunderbird Version 91--May Be OT
by Tim Evans
I have several of issues with the latest Thunderbird e-mail tool that came down via dnf lately; thunderbird-91.1.0-1.fc34.x86_64. (Prior version was 78.something.) Some are just annoying; one is major.
First, annoying. Starting a new message, the Send button is grayed out *IF* there is anything in the Bcc field. As I normally Bcc myself on all messages, this hits every time. Clearing the field, re-enables the Send button. Refilling the Bcc field does NOT cause the Send button to go gray.
Second, more annoying, when trying to reply to a message, the Send box is grayed out and cannot be restored, even by clearing the Bcc box. I have not found any way to actually send a reply (other than to go to my mobile phone and do it there).
Third, less annoying, access to my local on-disk mailspool (referred to in Thunderbird as "movemail") has disappeared. Not a big deal, as I can review local logfiles with a command-line mailtool like good ole 'mailx.'
Fourth, and a major problem, my Address Book has disappeared. The data appears to still be there, as I can start typing an address and have it auto-completed, but the address book itself appears empty, and can't be opened for browsing.
FLASH: after all this Send totally fails, even though button appears active, so this saved draft was called up and sent from phone.

xfce --> mate
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I am thinking of switching from Xfce to Mate.
(Too many won't fix bugs in Xfce.)
1) is there a yellow sticky note utility in Mate?
2) is there a way to dual install Mate alongside
Xfce and pick which one I want at logon?
Many thanks,
