I could run KDE44 or Gnome or LXDE. I don't have ot run KWrite. In fact, at the moment I can't run KWrite as root, but I want to run KWrite. And yes, there is a problem - I can't see anything else as well. But even if there weren't, why shouldn't I try to run it just because I want to? I shall continue to try to use those facilities of TDE that I have particularly valued over the years. If I can't, I can't. One day I may even be forced to choose between KDE4 and Windows. ... > http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/KDE/tde14KonsoleSessionMenu.png > http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/KDE/tde14KonsoleSessionMenu.png > > Are these Konsole session menu options missing on Jessie?

But no, Konsole doesn't offer me mc. Probably because I haven't got mc installed. Lisi
