Ralf,

   I expected to see the same capabilities as before, but I don't.

   I missed seeing that.

   I'll look for this. Trying to find the desktop backgrounds is particularly
frustrating because one of the drop-down choice is 'File system' but there's
no way to navigate to a directory or files. It just sits there.

   I modified buttons, but did not look in xsettings. Will do so.

   The big issue is why clicking on the terminal icon in the panel does not
bring up a terminal. I've no idea how to trace the source of this behavior

Thanks,
