@lesliek, also a longtime user here, always Ubuntu w/ gnome-panel
(called by different names over time, currently "Flashback"). Every few

Quickly realized that all of the patches and workarounds (such as this
very one!) I'd
Norbert provided (#5) what he said was a complete and working solution for v
18.04 and Alberts updated Norbert's solution (#9) for v 20.04.
I want to adopt the updated solution, so that I can continue to use my desktop
as I have for decades now. (I'm old and resist change as much as possible.)
Thanks Alberts. I'd been trying to figure that out for some time now.

Here is complete and working solution. `nemo-desktop` is fully-
functional on Ubuntu("Unity") and GNOME FlashBack session:
