Thanks! apt-cache show xserver-xorg | grep Version gives me: Version: 1:7.7+13ubuntu3
and: dpkg -s libgtk-3-0|grep '^Version' Version: 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.1 It could thus very well be the same/similar issue! I shall change to Ubuntu Mate that hopefully does not have this problem! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieter Blaas, Max F.
