Thanks for the tip. Actually, in response to another e-mail I saw recently,
I've already done that (added spidermonkey && dist-upgrade) and have the
pleasing result that I no longer have 3 packages "held back". I still don't
know how to cut/paste in this new GUI though. And I have no idea how to
send pictures. This new GUI looks much like the old - bottom strip of
thingies with K-in-a-cog icon, screen-cum-circuitboard icon, screen-with-
shell icon, toolbox icon, life-preserver icon, ... box with 4 desktops
that you click to get to a fresh desktop, box with current desktop objects,
clipboard??, and clock. The old one had a logout icon and lockscreen icon
between the K-in-a-cog .. life-preserver series and the 4 clickable
desktops box, and didn't have the box of 4 clickable desktops twixt that
and the clipboard/clock. That was done by one of the icons in the K-in-a-cog
.. life-preserver icon set. I'll re-start kde soon to see if that makes
cut/paste work again.
