Something like this has happened before:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/home-folder-places-points-disk-usage-analyzer
but it went unresolved ...
I was poking around in ~/.config/dconf/user where it seems rather corrupted,
but in my other installations of Trisquel (both TQ7 and TQ8) "user" is
XFE, X File Explorer, has no dependencies with Gnome. I've been using it a
lot in BSD.

The link about the minimal install solved my mystery. Thanks!
How? Please tell what you did.
Please note that I'm not "suggesting" anything, nor do I think it will be of
use in your issue. Basically, I think you've broken your system. Only a
complete reinstall will do th job.
It's just a friendly reminder that there's a nice little file manager out
there, now that you asked.
Here's what's happening:
When I go to the menu item "Places" and select "Home Folder" from the file
menu,
after a delay of several seconds a new window appears. It's got "Write" in
the
title line, my file:///home/username/ folder as a file attachment, and my
email
and username from a
loldier suggested another file manager, xfe.
My observation: XFE is free of the present libfm "feature."
My other instances of TQ8 are also free of the libfm Home-click sendmail bug.
It's just the one exposed to Win10 during operation of the "new" T420.
Thanks,

Well of course, many people do.
Openbox by default looks like an X root window -- a black desktop with no app
windows open. Right clicking on the root window (desktop) opens the root menu
which has some program entries.
There's no panel. Everything can be added and customized.

Again: Openbox is only a window manager. You need separate programs for any
other piece of a desktop environment you deem important: a panel (for
launchers, a list of windows, etc.), a file browser (including to get icons
on the desktop), an image viewer, power management, etc.

I disabled the conf files, but still see the problem.
Removing synaptics and installing libinput:
sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-libinput
makes the problem worse - right clicks pop up more often, left clicks do not
work at all. Fn F8 also
ok, but could it be possible to use it for it?
Thank you, loldier.
So it looks like you could use Openbox as DE(not just as a part of lxde),
yes?
I saw pictures of it on the net and it seems to be lighter, is it?
yes, we talk about it on another thread and I actually got an USB wifi device
which works automatically, a member recommended it to me.
Apart from that Realtek comment, do you see another bad working element?
Two attempts to eliminate the pesky sendmail popup weren't effective.
(1) A new username & login eliminates the pesky popup, but it also eliminates
access to all my files.
(2) I used "sudo mv libfm libfm-save" to hide the libfm folder. No effect.

I do not really want to go through the 619 KB of the log. That is why I used
-p 3 in the 'journalctl' command I gave you: to only show the *errors*.
Append "> kern.log" to it (without the quotes) to get the errors in a file
named "kern.log", in the working directory.
Openbox is only a window manager, not a whole desktop environment.
I still think it is a personal configuration issue. If so, renaming
~/.config (e.g., using 'mv ~/.config ~/config.bak') may solve the problem.
Then, files in the renamed folder (~/config.bak in my example) can be moved
back into ~/.config (and if the problem occurs again, you have spotted
