Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 5.3 glitches

I used Linux Mint on a test system.  What Desktop version are you using 
- MATE or Cinnamon?  I used MATE when I tested Linux Mint.

I use Ubuntu with the MATE desktop [16.04LTS] and I also have the LO 
desktop icon,s plus the icons for Writer and Calc in the "top panel".  I 
have not tried the 5.3.x.x version, since I just upgraded to 5.2.4.2.  
After I do the needed work this month, or two, I will test 5.3.x.x on my 
testing laptop.

The need to change the Icon Properties to launch LO from the 
desktop/panel icons is a concern for me.  Will I have to do similar to 
Ubuntu Mate when I go to 5.3.x.x?
