9 The '<' version is the new one, the '>' version is the old one,
10 so the launcher above is present in the new one.
11
12 I've tried setting it via the context menu (R-click on desktop
13 -> Configure Desktop -> Mouse Actions -> Add Action -> L-click there),
14 which creates a new line 'Left Button : Standard Menu',
15 which I then change to 'Application Launcher', then 'Apply' + 'OK'.
16 There's no change : L-click on desktop has no effect, then or after reboot.
17
18 File ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc shows :
19
20 [ActionPlugins][0]
21 LeftButton;NoModifier=org.kde.applauncher
22 MidButton;NoModifier=org.kde.paste
23 RightButton;NoModifier=org.kde.contextmenu
24 wheel:Vertical;NoModifier=org.kde.switchdesktop
25
26 Middle-click in fact creates a sticky note containing clipboard contents
27 (ouch : I had to look in my notes to find out how to remove it,
28 ie by R-click on the R-hand side of the note, which gives a menu).
29
30 HTH others to find out what's going on.
