Hi Andrea Actually, at that level I am a non-techie too. I reported the problem when it happened, but by the time I had used the update manager a couple of times the problem apparently just fixed itself because somebody who did know what they were doing applied a fix, patch , whatever, to the appropriate package. Seems to have had something to do with that stupid front that makes the PC look like a phone/pad. Now gone back to Gnome 2.
