Here's one then: In KMail (yes, I know*) the folder list contains an item "trash" (ugh!), but when I come to empty it it's called "Wastebin" (much better) in the drop-down menu. And another: if I move my user account away and create a new one, setting KDE plasma up from scratch (this is ~amd64), the system-settings panel has no icons and the single-click-to-open preference is ignored, even though it's the default and I already have it set anyway. Then, if I revert to the original home directory, which has followed events through the last six months, those faults disappear. > Work the real problem, not an assumed one :-) Of course - when I can find it! I'm just trying to ensure that the system is clean before I go tilting at windmills. Possibly, I'm just seeing the immaturity of KDE-5. So be it, if so. * I've seen references to KMail 5.0.3 already Out There, so I'm sticking with it in the hope that 5.* will be more solid. -- Rgds Peter
