Here's one then: In KMail (yes, I know*) the folder list contains an item |
| 8 |
"trash" (ugh!), but when I come to empty it it's called "Wastebin" (much |
| 9 |
better) in the drop-down menu. |

And another: if I move my user account away and create a new one, setting |
| 12 |
KDE plasma up from scratch (this is ~amd64), the system-settings panel has |
| 13 |
no icons and the single-click-to-open preference is ignored, even though |
| 14 |
it's the default and I already have it set anyway. Then, if I revert to the |
| 15 |
original home directory, which has followed events through the last six |
| 16 |
months, those faults disappear. |

Of course - when I can find it! I'm just trying to ensure that the system is |
| 21 |
clean before I go tilting at windmills. Possibly, I'm just seeing the |
| 22 |
immaturity of KDE-5. So be it, if so. |

* I've seen references to KMail 5.0.3 already Out There, so I'm sticking |
| 25 |
with it in the hope that 5.* will be more solid. |
