Something specific to (certain) EU countries, where owners of appliances
containing a TV tuner have to pay a few hundred bucks each year, which are used
to finance the national TV stations. Give

Still pretty high dpi effectively, when you've moved back far enough to be able

Yes, that works just fine. Thanks. I'm embarrassed not to see it before.

Do I read you correctly that you started with an entirely clean system,
including your home directory? What I usually do, even with a clean install on
a new machine is, in o
ose all windows to have a maximum click area. And if you are on icons-only
at the moment, then even having several windows open shan’t be a problem.

f my reconfiguration that way, but I'd have
to do more testing to describe that in detail and most people that would
be comfortable doing it can already figure it out, so I'll skip
describing that unless you request it specifically.

2. How do I unlock the widgets on the new task manager? The tool list
no longer seems to include that function and I don't find it elsewhere.
I am able to add new widgets but I can't modify the properties of those
already added.
