Thanks, Liam, for the info.
Since it IS working on the netbook I'm hoping that means that whatever
needed updating has been updated.
So, I compared the versions on my desktop with those on the netbook, and
find that mate_dictionary, mate-disk-usage-analyzer, mate-screenshot,
mate-search-tool, mate-system-log, mate-system-monitor, mate-utilsk,
mate-utils-common all had a minor version bump. Some from 1.16.1-1 to
1.16.1-2, one from 1.16.0-1 to 1.16.0-2.
I know there are other packages that do not contain "mate" in their names,
but I don't know which they are.
So, do you (or anyone else) happen to know which Mate packages are/were
in need of update?
thanks again, in advance.
