Thank you, Christian, I'll add that to my to-do list, even though it doesn't fit within the timeframe and, for example, Firefox is one of the GTK apps that doesn't have any problems at all on my install. Using a brand-new user account, I tried out various window managers and desktop environments, in the process, I noticed a few peculiarities, but they weren't helpful to me. It's enough for me today. Today, for more than six hours straight, I did nothing but try in vain to get to the bottom of the cause and document everything in emails to myself [1]. I have other things to take care of today and over the next few days, so I’ll have to leave it at that for now.
