That is nice to know, I'll find out how. I presume Mate and Gnome3 can coexist on the same machine, perhaps with different logins to access them, so I can make the transition as Gnome3 is adapted to my needs. > For a while I missed the icons on the desktop but I don't anymore. Is there a way around that with Gnome3, to keep user-generated icons on the desktop, and few or NO system-mandatory icons? I keep about two dozen icons and folders on my desktop, changing them frequently with my workflow, different patterns for differently tasked machines. Sadly, it is true that some people let icons accumulate and make a mess (resembling their physical desktops), and that slows down the machine. I once helped a colleague move 800 overlapped icons on her desktop to folders, and mostly to the trash. For me, visual organization of my work using my own icons and classifications is vital, and saves mental effort for more important needs. Also important is to avoid externally imposed change for change's sake; I'm quite capable of introducting more changes in my own life than I can manage. Keith -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected]
