Frank,
For some reason I didn't get Eddie O'Connor's message. If there are
.conf files they're hiding pretty well. And as I said, systemctl -ex,
journalctl, and dmesg don't show any errors. If you search for
"troubleshooting MATE desktop" I think you'll be disappointed in how
little help there is. I guess that's to be expected of a desktop that
"just works".
Yours is an excellent suggestion. If the new user works, the problem
would be a fault in my account's configuration. If not, then it's the
MATE system.
So I created a new user "test", reset the machine, and logged into the
MATE desktop as the new user. Unfortunately I see the exact same
misbehavior.
I'm about ready to run "dnf erase *mate*" and try re-installing MATE
from scratch from the GNOME3 desktop. Is that possible without ripping
the heart out of C8 by deleting other critical packages?
