I've timeshifted back to 21.3 now, but unfortunately it has "inherited" 
some of the annoyances of 22.1, like a missing "paste" option in the 
right-click menu when copying a file, and Thunderbird that's still not 
fully functional (no more notifications when a mail arrives). Timeshift 
really does not restore everything to its previous state it seems.
