Thanks to both you and Monsieur Gaston! I can't remember when I gave up on KDE and I have never been able to fit Gnome - - - - after I found LXDE - - - well I've used parts of likely both KDE and Gnome but am uninterested in the whole enchilada - - - - they're just tooooooooooo big. There were some hiccups transitioning from LXDE to LXQT but that's where I've been for quite some time. Appreciate the assistance!
