Hi Ralph, thanks for getting in touch.
I 'safely eject' USB devices each time.
When a USB device is inserted, a row of USB icons replicates itself
automatically along the top menu bar going from the original icon to
the right, and stops short of covering the Shut-Down circle. I have
since discovered that I can right-click on each one and get rid of
them one at a time, but it doesn't stop it occurring again on the next
USB insertion.
Here is the result of the interrogate:-
cam@PAMPRU-D2:~$ ls -ld ~ ~/Desktop
drwxr-xr-x 69 cam cam 4096 2011-11-27 16:50 /home/cam
drwxr-xr-x 7 cam cam 4096 2011-11-24 15:41 /home/cam/Desktop
cam@PAMPRU-D2:~$
Thanks again,
Best regards,
Charles

Hi Charles,
Stability of UNITY 11.04 has also been disappointing, with spurious
defects occurring such as self-replicating of USB icons all along the
top menu each time a USB device is inserted
Do you mean you insert one USB device, e.g. a flash memory stick, and
lots of icons appear. Or that old ones never disappear so each time you
insert the stick you gain one more? Are you doing an "eject" or "safely
remove drive" for the USB device before removing it?
and frequent refusal to allow a cut folder from desktop to be pasted
into my Home folder.
Can you give us the output of
ls -ld ~ ~/Desktop
As an example, for me it's
$ ls -ld ~ ~/Desktop
