Can it be done? If so, how?
I never lock session on purpose.
It's extremely irritating that it's placed there at all, much less right on top
of log out. I try to log out, I put the pointer over log out, I click, and half
the time the pointer moves as I click to selecting lock session instead of log out.

Greetings;
One of the things I miss most is "focus follows mouse", but I've not
found a place in the trinity-control-center to turn this on.
Is such a function available, and if so, where do I enable it?
Thanks.

So I tried setting it back to jessie, but all that got me was a sea of
red or outright refusal to even mark it for install.
Stretch has been out for quite a while, so whats the magic potion folks?

what a week. on thursday my corsair hx750 power supply up and died stone dead. i do not suppose i can blame it -- the power system here is awful, with frequent blackouts, generally preceded by a half dozen off-on cycles in quick succession. i have a biggish UPS between the mains power and the computer, but still . . .
so until the replacement arrives -- remember when there was a computer store on every block? -- i am on my previously reliable thinkpad X200, which got a little flaky when i upgraded it to debian stretch a few weeks ago. i now have most everything working, the exception being wireless. the nice little switch on the side of the machine is turned on, but no light on the wifi led and wicd reports no wifi signals, though there is certainly a wifi signal,from a router about 3 feet away that every other gadget in the house recognizes just fine.

i suspect that i'm missing something really obvious. for lo, these many years, the thing just worked. now it doesn't. wired network works just fine.

Hi,
I'm getting a kdesktop boot error from time to time on my system:
https://paste.ee/p/rfxYv
I compile the tqt3 package with the options -pipe -g -ggdb3 -Og
-fvisibility = hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden, unfortunately when
I use the -O0 option this error does not manifest itself.
Maybe you need some more technical data to solve my problem?
best regards, Oleg Levenets.

You can also use kcontrol.

You will have to create the "Desktop" dir.
Cheers,

I 've decided to create a new user restricted to special use. I created this
user with kuser.
Works well, I can log to it but... there is no "Desktop" folder,
rather /home/<new user> *is* the desktop folder.
With the result that any /home/<folder> shows on the desktop. I guess there
must be a way and a place to tell TDE to use /home/desktop but I have not
found it yet.
