Weird I didn't ever ask for "desktopfolder" to be installed. I must have loaded something else which saw fit to call for it. But I didn't get any warning messages about XYZ being broken when I removed it. Thanks again anyhow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubu

Process 2554 is "desktopfolder" which I suppose isn't a surprise. The original xrestop command was still running, having built up to 11MB. I aborted it and ran it again as you said. I attach the output from the second xrestop command. ** Attachment added: "xrestop output" https://bugs.launc
