think we have just crossed paths! I've just pushed a new version of budgie-desktop to cosmic in the last hour that includes your changes Iain.
This includes a bunch of upstream changes. The debian package has had to be changed quite a bit to accommodate the changes - and a tweak to ensure "caffeine" users coming from 18.04 don't crash and burn during the upgrade since the new budgie installs the same icons into the same folder locations.
