   * VNC issues: Desktop environments that require hardware accelleration (3D desktop effects) are often too heavy to be used inside a virtual desktop (VNC, X2GO). See [[VNC desktop issues]] for details and workarounds.   * VNC issues: Desktop environments that require hardware accelleration (3D desktop effects) are often too heavy to be used inside a virtual desktop (VNC, X2GO).

-  * Gnome doesn't display //notification area// aka //system tray// icons any more by default. The fix is, to enable  the ''topicons plus'' extension: open ''gnome-tweaks'', and go to ''extensions'' to do that. After that, the icons such as status icons of dropbox, zoom etc, will be in your top panel.+  * Gnome doesn't display //notification area// aka //system tray// icons any more by default.

   * Applications using the "pango" text rendering engine (including Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops) will no longer support bitmap fonts. If an application looks strange, you may have to select a different font for it (seen on terminal emulators, emacs with non-standard settings, possibly other applications).    * Applications using the "pango" text rendering engine (including Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops) will no longer support bitmap fonts.

   * The ''clipit'' clipboard app that is a default part of Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops, sometimes hangs, which blocks all cut, copy and paste actions. Exit the app by right-clicking on the icon (which looks like a clipboard), and choose the quit action. If this happens a lot to you, you might want to disable the app in your startup applications preferences. The app is only needed to maintain a clipboard history; without it, a single cut/copy and paste is still possible.   * The ''clipit'' clipboard app that is a default part of Gnome, Cinnamon and MATE desktops, sometimes hangs, which blocks all cut, copy and paste actions.

   * Workarounds are in place for some software that was built with older versions of CFITSIO (GILDAS) and/or older GFortran (StarLink). When using these programs from within other programs, this workaround may be bypassed (eg, GILDAS software linked from within CASA). If you run into that issue, let us know so we can provide you with the necessary workaround. Eventually these issues are expected to be solved when new versions of these software packages are released or recompiled using current libraries.   * Workarounds are in place for some software that was built with older versions of CFITSIO (GILDAS) and/or older GFortran (StarLink).

   * Some reports that the screensaver on the Plasma (KDE) desktop, sometimes refuses to unlock the screen. To be more precise, when you type your password to unlock, nothing appears on screen. What usually works is to click the icon "virtual keyboard" and enter your password by clicking the characters on screen.   * Some reports that the screensaver on the Plasma (KDE) desktop, sometimes refuses to unlock the screen.

 +  * Some theme libraries from earlier releases are no longer present. If you get errors when starting graphical applications such as: <code>
