Hi, I updated MATE 1.4 to MATE 1.6 desktop yesterday without rebooting. I noticed few visual changes. When I turned my laptop back on this morning the entire desktop configuration was wrecked. Nothing is as it was before, all applets are gone, pretty much everything including panel settings is back to default. I also noticed, when making changes in appearance settings it stops working, can only select icons on the desktop but nothing can be run anymore and have to change to a console and reboot the system. Does anyone have an idea how to re-use the MATE 1.4 desktop configuration, because it is still there but just not being used? Any help is much appreachiated. Cheers, -- Sven (Andriske)/ VK3SIX
