[CentOS] C7, removing zoom problem

ah, that's OK for now, as long as it works.

I'm trying to build up the courage to do a full system upgrade to
Rocky.latest. I hate doing upgrades, it's such a pain in the rear to get
everything working again, and get all my tweaks back into place. I despise
Gnome 3+, and prefer Mate. Someone (EPEL ??)  built Mate for C7, but the
existing binaries for C8 don't work very well, there are none that I know
of for  C9, and AFAIK Rocky is the only Centos clone that supports Mate.
there IS Ubuntu Mate, but I am more comfy with RH-derived systems.

One thing I won't have to do anymore is set up email (used to have my own
domain for email, but moved and can't get a static IP anymore, decided it
was too much bother to do the ddns thing) along with POP3 for my wife to
use. We now just use gmail.

But I see that the time for said upgrade is drawing nearer and nearer.
