Here a screenshot of version 2.2.0d (beta ;-) as compiled some months ago on my Fedora 28 Asus U36SD .. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JrRPdCpYXzyAB0hhVqRyfr2Pj_mtL3dr/view?usp=sharing I just see that there is now final version 2.3.0... time to recompile it on Fedora 29 https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/files/ I couldn't resist... and I cannot forget how beautiful it was on my HP9000 workstation on 1994 ! Gianluca ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope that konsole will still be around after 2024, or that terminal is upgraded with the konsole features. I recently put together a lab machine to test drive the hypervisor features of kvm. I could not get the numeric keypad to work with gnome3 on the host machine. I could get it to work with KDE and Mate, but the screen management for a two monitor hypervisor was not as good as I needed. I finally tried cinnamon and was impressed; it had great screen management with the hypervisor host and guest, and my numeric keypad worked. I have continued cinnamon. Greg
