No I don't but I have thought about an art package just not got there yet

I'm sort of fixed again, in a rare moment of (slightly) better broadband speed, 
I tried the recovery option at boot, then fix broken packages, onlt took about 
2.5 hours to download ~250mb and a while to unpack & install, then the system 
worked again, ONLY it looks totally different, icons that I had on launcher (3 
of them) were all gone, and a lot of new ones appeared, mainly LibreOffice 
stuff (that were never installed before as I had done the minimal install), 
home appeared on my desktop (not on launcher as before), external disks are now 
only accessable from Files (not a simple click of tehicon on launcher) the old 
power down button/icon (top right before) now brings up a choice of theme 
colours, and a lot of other little things, I do now have a cog-wheel at login 
that was not there before

Not sure if the display manager changed as I didn't really check which one was 
in use before
