Its not in the official repos. my system is likely to be a hybrid, to put it delicately, as I had a Devuan base (using Jessie) and upgraded to Stretch from it.

I will consider this. as a matter of fact, in my struggles I feared I was going to mess things up beyond recovery so I installed xfce4 on the side (I can log into it) to continue work if I had to. I don't remember a lot as I didn't do much there but it did run Pan and I believe FF. but I used my Windows 10 machine to research problems and eventually hit on the device of stripping out GTK3. about possible bugs, I may check it out over the weekend. my suspicion is some conflict in themes. right now I am reluctant to test reinstall my suspects, gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity and gtk2-engine-oxygen because of time-constraints though I suppose it'd be easy enough. fjd -- Felmon Davis
