Well, so here's an interesting non-development. I did a apt purge of everything gnome and gnomish, all the gtk2 and gtk3 packages that weren't needed. (I also unchecked those boxes that told other programs to use my TDE settings, all that good stuff.) After purging, then purging again, and purging yet again, I *still* got these packages that clung to life inside my system, despite every attempt to eradicate them: gnome-keyring gtk3-nooverlayscrollbar network-manager-gnome policykit-1-gnome gnome-desktop3-data gnome-icon-theme gnome-keyring gnome-keyring-pkcs11 libgnome-desktop-3-19 xdg-desktop-portal-gtk libpam-gnome-keyring libpipewire-0.3-0 libpipewire-0.3-modules libspa-0.2-modules libxkbregistry0 p11-kit p11-kit-modules pipewire pipewire-bin xdg-desktop-portal libayatana-appindicator3-1 libayatana-ido3-0.4-0 libayatana-indicator3-7 libnma-common libnma0 mobile-broadband-provider-info I finally used dpkg --purge --force-all and got rid of them, but they just keep coming back. I used to say of Gnome, well, at least it's not as bad as KDE4/5, etc., but now I begin to think maybe it's much worse than the rest. Bill
