I think my trackpad malfunctioned and pressed the middle button on my plasma desktop maybe a thousand times. As a result, I have about a thousand (you guessed it) empty post-it notes icons all across my desktop.
Removing them one by one will take forever. I tried doing the following
mv ~/.local/share/plasma_notes /tmp/foo
but that doesn't seem to be making a difference.
For reference, here's what a small portion of my desktop looks like.
Removing entries from ./plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc did the trick.

I have written an app that makes extensive use of custom right-click menus on an Access form. The code works great and the user loves it, but lately I am having trouble making it work properly.
In earlier versions of Access it worked well, but newer version seem much more limited in how many items can be put in such menus. The documentation is silent on the matter, and nobody in any newsgroup has had any useful ideas, but I regularly get random error about stack space, out of memory, and general lockups when populating the menus. Doing a C&R used to help, but now even that is not enough, and some menus I can no longer populate at all.
I tried building an app that just built menus until it crashed, to get some idea of what the limits may be, and I am well below what that indicated, but the experimental app had nothing else, while the real app has a great deal else.
Is there any information on how much stuff can be put into these menus, and what the menus share space with? There may be something I can do another way to make more room for the menus. I tried moving all code out of the form, leaving only event stubs that called routines in standard code modules, but that did not help.
And how are they stored/activated? The app is MUCH slower to load when it has these menus, even though no code is running on start-up.
********** Edited to add this:
I use VBA to create a menu, like this:
Application.CommandBars.Add "RCStat", msoBarPopup, False, False
then add it to a control. like this:
Application.CommandBars.cboStat.ShortcutMenuBar = "RCStat"
I add controls (only popups and buttons) like this:
Application.CommandBars.Controls.Add(type:=msoControlPopup)
Application.CommandBars.Controls.Add(type:=msoControlButton, Parameter:="StatKod = 77")
It runs perfectly and the menu items work exactly as expected, except that it bombs after adding some number of controls. It doesn't seem to matter where I add them, just the total number of added controls hits some undefined threshold, and the app crashes.
I got the original code from Getz, Litwin and Gilbert, 2000 edition. Back then, it worked great. But as the versions advance and the app accumulates data, it is becoming less and less functional. However, there are only around 10,000 records, and the app itself is less than 100MB - nowhere close to any of Access's upper size limits.
Pete,
I've done quite a bit of work with shortcut menus, and created the Access Shortcut Tool about 5 years ago, but have never attempted a menu with so many controls although some have 3 or 4 levels.
I am not aware of any restrictions on the number of elements in the commandbars collection, but I find that shortcut menus with too many options, like lists and combo boxes with too many items, are difficult for users to navigate. I generally break these up into segments and use buttons in the form header to display the appropriate menu. Sorry I'm unable to provide anything more helpful.

We have a commercial product, Total Access Components, that includes as one of its 30 components a right click popup menu that can include icons and font styles.
Here's the info for the popup menu control: https://fmsinc.com/MicrosoftAccess/controls/components/popup-menu/
There's a free trial if you want to try it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. My cursor keeps being stuck in one place and sometimes it just starts clicking I know that because everything keeps getting selected like when you double or triple-click.
I searched on google first and it said you can reset(didn't help), press escape multiple times, turn off and on (when I do this it stops being stuck for a movement but then it happens again after some time.), drumroll your fingers, and see if there is dust(i cleaned it thoroughly).
Nothing gave a permanent solution. I am a student and I can't just turn it off and on in the middle of online classes.
PLEASE HELP ME
there are many reasons a mousepad can start acting weird. I have one suggestion that might work as this has fixed it for me before.
If you open the computer, most likely there will be some simple connections for the keyboard, storage etc under the battery. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the blue mousepad connection tab. If you have trouble opening the computer, there are plenty of quick tutorials out there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1JWSnk6uZY.
As the title suggests, my touchpad won't move my mouse. I am therefore unable to select outputs of my commands, but I am able to take screenshots of windows. (Luckily I am used to using keyboard shortcuts)
I have no clue what caused this. I have recently updated my kernel from linux52 to linux53 and linux54. Falling back to either of those versions from linux54 hasn't helped. I have also recently been playing around with a Wacom tablet, using xsetwacom, but I believe my mouse has worked after this.
I know it's not a hardware issue, as libinput debug-events correctly detects my finger running over the trackpad:
The output of 40-libinput.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf is the following. I can't see any error there.
I tried blacklisting the i2c_hid, as suggested in the following question, but to no avail. It fixed an error claiming there was a duplicate mouse, which it decided to ignore. I thought this would help.
What is surprising is that I can click. I can't scroll or move the mouse, though. My trackpad lists the following settings. To my surprise, there is no Accel Speed there, and I can't manually set it with xinput --set-prop 14 'libinput Accel Speed' 1.0, as I need to specify the type and format. I don't know what these are supposed to be, and I don't know if the acceleration is the issue. I read that having a negative value would cause the mouse to never move, though.
Do you have any suggestions as to what to do? What does libinput do with the events after receiving them?
EDIT: Removing the blacklist i2c_hid from the modprobe returns the following Xorg log:
Making a copy of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf into my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder, and commenting out the Option "Ignore" "on" line fixed it.
Had to sudo pkill X after changing it, of course. A reboot would also do the trick.
I normally use two views (split panes) in my jEdit. I also like to use BufferTabs. On my last computer I was able to have one BufferTabs section below the tow views from which I could change both view (depending on which was active). Now with the new installation I have a BufferTab for each view.
Does anybody know how to get the single BufferTab back?
I use jEdit and BufferTabs for ages and to be honest, I've never seen the behaviour that you describe. If you are really sure you have seen this behaviour, do you by chance still have your settings directory of the old computer around?
I am listing folders and folder sizes in a ListView for a VB.NET WinForm program I'm writing. I would like to total the folder sizes in the last entry of the ListView and 'lock' it show it always shows (even if scrolling through the list.
Is there a way to do this? I'd really like to avoid adding another control on the Windows Form to display the total.
EDIT:
Space is somewhat of an issue as I'm trying to keep this window small enough to work in a min screen resolution of 800x600 (I know, waaaaay not the standard, but I want to make this available to even those in the elderly community with problematic eyesight.
Thanks!

There appears to be ways to do this in Webforms and WPF, but not in Winforms. You should probably use a text box. Any attempt to hack in a fixed totals row would most certainly be far more effort than the benefit obtained. It is certainly beyond my capabilities. Even the custom control shops like Telerik don't seem to do this.

If you're concerned about space, make the gridview a little smaller to accomodate the text box.
