> Would it be possible to add a menu item in a more obvious place that opens
the System Monitor to that tab (and maybe a similar item in Control Panel)?
A .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ resembling this
```
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=About Trisquel
Comment=Trisquel System Information
Exec=mate-system-monitor --show-system-tab
Icon=start-here
Type=Application
Categories=Settings;HardwareSettings;
OnlyShowIn=MATE;
```
would create a menu entry like the one you describe. However, we'd then need
to translate the "Name=" and "Comment=" fields into every language supported
by Trisquel.

Do you mind double checking if you haven't already? I'm looking at a Flidas
system right now and the scrolling behavior seems to be what you are
describing. I definitely did not intentionally change the scrolling speed.
I made many other changes, the largest being Gtk2 -> Gtk3 migration, and it
is possible that this could have affected the scrolling speed as a side
effect.
> As mentioned in that older thread, I still think that CLI programs ought to
be installable only from a terminal. Would it be possible to write a script
that limits the list of programs in Synaptic to those who a GUI?
Yes, that would be very easy to do. I would just need to add a line to the
current script to filter out programs whose .desktop files contain
"Terminal=True". I was already considering doing this, and probably will
now.
> Is the software Mozilla uses for this libre? Is there an options in the
Sync tool in Abrowser to use a self-hosted server instead of Mozilla's?
The [server-side code][1] is free, so self-hosting should be possible in
theory. I'm not sure how easy it is to actually configure the browser to use
one's self-hosted server. IIRC, the view quidam expressed when we discussed
this is that since the data is encrypted it is not an issue that it is stored
on Mozilla's servers.
