@Is: Appreciate the reply, well, that's what I was wondering, if it "works" to cut the installed DE's out w/o messing things up. Thanks for the insight on JWM, happy to look into that, I think we "spoke" about this before, or something that was waiting for PPC config . . . . Got a few too many t

Hi John, Thanks for finding this!! I will have to experiment with using mimeapps.list some. For all who are interested here is the spec... $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$desktop-mimeapps.list user overrides, desktop-specific (for advanced users) $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mimeapps.list user overrides (recommen
