Um, OK, though as I say, it's there and working on gnome-fallback.
Michael's method of using the File menu appears to pop up the tool that
Gnome uses, so I'll likely try that.
To me It seems telling that I'm not sure I'd even realised there _were_
menus as they're hidden until I hover on that screen-top bar. That
still seems horribly counter-intuitive to me. Why move it away from
where they're used, why hide them until hover? My eyes are much faster
then waving a mouse over the top-bar to see if there's something helpful
there. Alt-Menus again may be better when they work properly with
focus-follows-mouse.

Oh, right, just like we used to do it a decade or two ago.
I'd completely forgotten and become used to the newer way.
I'm comfortable with modifying fstab, if somewhat surprised.
How is a newbie to Linux now recommended to find that out?
I guess I'll search around there for theme and top-bar solutions?
Kind regards,
Gordon.
