I've been wanting to upgrade to v21 anyway, and I have a work around until I have time to do that (force...

    I know they are not needed anymore but I like the ambiance they give the room when I'm not at the PC. I found my answer to whether or not I should update MATE from v1.24 to v1.26 and basically you -can- but don't.

    Interested to hear from anyone who has updated to LM21....either via the Update Manager, or via a Fresh Install?

    I have only ever used MATE with Linux Mint ever since I started using it, I tried XFCE once and I had the same experience with things missing from it that you would expect to be there and went back to using MATE again.

    I ran "mate-screensaver-command --exit" from command line, logged out, logged back in, and it is working again. I'm not expecting it to stay running though because in about 3-4 days it will probably quit again.

    My friends' email clients think my email is spam. How to set Thunderbird?

    I don't know what email clients all of your recipients are using but in Thunderbird all they should have to do is right-click your message and mark it is "not junk" and that should pop it back to the regular Inbox.

    I've been having trouble with my screen saver not working for a while, it started back in April and what happens is that when my session times out or I hit CTRL-ALT-L it will immediately start the screen saver until I wiggle the mouse or press a button on the keyboard, but now all that I get is...
