-  * Beachbit (file cleaner) works, but seems to display wrong icons: the "search" icon is grayed out, but is available for clicking, and the "clean" icon to start cleaning, shows as a grayed out x, so might be mistaken for an abort icon. The help text shown when the mouse is over the icon, shows the right description for each task.+  * <del>Bleachbit (file cleaner) works, but seems to display wrong icons: the "search" icon is grayed out, but is available for clicking, and the "clean" icon to start cleaning, shows as a grayed out x, so might be mistaken for an abort icon.

 +  * 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.
