Well, I have had a look at the favourites tab. First of all, it does 
appear in the menus but the icon (a yellow star) does not appear on 
the panel. (And I cannot find a way to get it there.) So to use 
something in the favourites list I have to open the Application 
Launcher then click on Favorites then select the relevant item from 
that list. A bit long winded. I should mention that I have the 
Application Launcher Menu set to the Classic mode. Perhaps that is the 
problem.
