[ubuntu-za] Ubuntu virus-free but what about bugs?

[Jan Greeff]

Great stuff Frans, many thanks.

Nothing I could find in Ubuntu Tweak, but I found them in my home folder 
where I could delete them and I could also copy the images that I want 
in the pics folder to my home folder from where they autmatically show 
in the pics folder for the desktop background.

Makes me proud of our SA Ubuntu Community and makes me wonder why the 
International community was unable to come up with this simple and 
logical solution.
