they are not my real mount points.
I always create my own unique names for mount points; names like Pete and
Fred
These developments are all new, since my installation of beowulf/buster; I never had anything like this is jessie or before, never even with the old KDE3. It reminds me of those *other* DEs or OSs that I try so hard to avoid.
Somebody please make sense of these developing disasters.

Thanks for reminding me. I might have got to that point on my own, eventually, but my thinking is always "I haven't changed anything, so why ... ?"; but it doesn't occur to me to look for the obvious.
When machines try to do my thinking for me, stuff always gets messed up.
