Oh and Sir, You might want to try, b/c the typing on the X client is showing incorrect values, XFCE for your desktop client. I found that this works at times, too. Here: https://www.xfce.org/. If I am not mistaken, you can just use "sudo apt install xfce4."
Seth P.S. I need to double check the apt install xfce4 cmd but I think that is it. I will keep looking around for other info. I have been waiting to get into this idea, the Machine Kit stuff, but I have been unable to find time. I will reply soon.
