[DNG] white band on top of lxqt screen

2021-10-14 Thread Hendrik Boom
A few days ago (possibly related to the upgrade to chimaera) when I log 
into lxqt a white band has appeared at the top of the screen.
It looks exactly like the band at the bottom, except the one at the botom 
carries icons and stuff, and the one on top carries nothing.

How do I go about getting rid of this superfluous bar?  I cannot place any 
part of a window there, and I lavve limited vertical space on the screen.

[DNG] Warning about Wicd in Chimaera

2021-10-14 Thread Hendrik Boom
There's no wicd in Chimaera.
If you need it to access the internet, you must replace it with another 
network manager *before* you upgrade to chimaera, otherwise you'll not be 
able to access the internet to download the replacement network manager 
after.
