Right click menu for desktop does not open with touchpad/mouse after using touch screen

When I touch the desktop with my finger or do something like switch desktops with three finger gestures on the touchscreen, the right click menu for the desktop does not get triggered when using the touchpad/mouse.

I did open a bug report but did not get any attention from any dev there. So im asking anyone who is suffering from this issue to go to the following link and thumbs up the report or commenting and contributing confirming the issue with any relevant logs, etc... TIA!

Make gedit always reopen the same documents it had open when it was closed?

I don't know if it would take a configuration option, or a full-blown extension, but I want gedit to reopen all of the same documents it had open when I closed it. If I want a tab closed, I'll close it explicitly. If I have tabs open and either gedit crashes (unlikely), or I just reboot, when I relaunch gedit, I want the same documents in the same tabs.

setting XML as wallpaper (via gnome tweaks) is not working

this is the XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<background>
  <static>
    <duration>3600.00</duration>
    <file>/mnt/storage/my-stuff/wallpapers/desktop/neon-bape.jpg</file>
  </static>
  <transition>
    <duration>2.00</duration>
    <from>/mnt/storage/my-stuff/wallpapers/desktop/neon-bape.jpg</from>
    <to>/mnt/storage/my-stuff/wallpapers/desktop/morning-surf.jpg</to>
  </transition>
  <static>
    <duration>3600.00</duration>
    <file>/mnt/storage/my-stuff/wallpapers/desktop/morning-surf.jpg</file>
  </static>
  <transition>
    <duration>2.00</duration>
    <from>/mnt/storage/my-stuff/wallpapers/desktop/morning-surf.jpg</from>
    <to>/mnt/storage/my-stuff/wallpapers/desktop/neon-bape.jpg</to>
  </transition>
</background>
  1. I know those 2 files exists since if I copy/paste the full path and then do an "ls" in terminal, the files exist.

  2. If I manually set the wallpaper to either file, it will work.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

I don't like the new Evolution look, please bring back the customizable version of Evolution.

LMDE 6 " FAYE"

I don't like how you can't add buttons to the top of Evolution anymore.. Like a button for Archive, instead of having to look for that tiny icon under the main toolbar. or having to remember CTRL + ALT + A...

Yet, Idk if I can trust THUNDERBIRD due to how easy it is to get corrupted .mbx mailboxes. At least Evolution uses the MAIL DIR format, where each email is its own file for POP accounts. So if 1 email gets taken out, it doesn't take out THE WHOLE mailbox / .mbx file.

Please bring back the customization of previous versions of Evolution.

TIA.

Could someone offer monetary reward to fix a bug?

Just I'm interested in the question, that if there is a known issue that isn't important for most, could someone in an official form, offer a reward for a fix? I know that for security vulnerabilities there are plenty of sites people do it, but what about everything else?

White top bar and pop ups despite dark theme

https://preview.redd.it/zpwzmb91ol4e1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba609ad651e881138fc3326d874c7b9b660970de

I'm on Debian and the theming is broken since when I installed nvidia drivers and installed-deinstalled KDE.

The overview is in dark style (the top bar and the background become dark), but in any other moment, the top panel and the popups are white. Apps are dark.

I'm using the default theme (Adwaita).

Moreover, the date is on the right and I can't find a way to move it to the center...

Any help?

External Monitor Speaker Volume Resets to Max After Reconnecting

As the title suggests, every time I reconnect my external monitor, its built-in speaker volume resets to maximum.

I'm using GNOME version 47.1 on Fedora 41. Has anyone else encountered this issue or knows how to fix it?

Any update on Gnome HDR support?

I've been going through some old threads but there doesn't seem to be any recent updates on Gnome HDR support. How long until HDR in Gnome is a reality?

Is it possible to make GNOME search for files using another file manager (e.g. nemo)?

I removed Nautilus because... I don't like it. Now I am using Nemo, but I miss the function of GNOME file search. Is it possible for GNOME to search into Nemo? Or should I just reinstall Nautilus for only that use?

Tried my hand at a cyberpunk-y themed Desktop

I have this weird thing where I like to build up the perfect themed Desktop, and then once I have it immediately start again from scratch on a new theme. I honestly don't even use those themes because I prefer the default Gnome with just Dash to Dock and Blur My Shell

Gnome Night Light - Not Working Out of the Box (Fedora 41, Gnome 47)

Hi Gnome friends,

I recently ran into an issue with Night Light on my Fedora 41 system (Gnome 47). It simply wouldn't work automatically. The only way I could get it to function was by creating a custom colour profile and setting a manual schedule.

This seems to be a recurring problem across various distros (Ubuntu, Arch, etc.) and I've seen reports of this issue going back years.

Here are the settings I had to use to get it working:

https://preview.redd.it/gunlwsmykh4e1.png?width=2204&format=png&auto=webp&s=114cdf89305935710f94460aa45369702c2d66bf

https://preview.redd.it/g9ra9umykh4e1.png?width=2204&format=png&auto=webp&s=37f624a4944e14310d27e9654db7045c5090c93d

Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know why this is happening and if there's a solution on the horizon? It seems odd that such a basic feature wouldn't work out of the box.

Cheers!
