FWIW Clem LeFebvre later backed away from his anti-Israel statement.

I think the one thing I regret the most is giving people the impression I cared about politics and getting involved in something that had nothing to do with me. I hurt some people by doing that and that's something I'll always regret. I try and apologize as much as I can to whoever queries me on that and reassure them that absolutely everyone is welcome to join me, no matter where they're from, who they are and what their political beliefs might be. Dividing topics such as these are an awful waste of time.

Thanks- I’ll give that a try- I think i may have found hte problem though- the transparency ‘gets stuck’ when i click on the ‘show desktop’ icon- then if i try to maximize the open page, or program, it’s transparent- but if i click the ‘show desktop’ icon again, it makes the programs and pages opaque again

This is kind of odd behavior- Linux mint 17 didn’t have that issue-

As for Clem and folks like him, The problem i have with someone coming out later and ‘apologizing’ is that they revealed their biases- then took heat for their bias, and only then decided to apologize to try to ‘correct’ a situation that was caused by the heat- I seriously doubt he has changed his mind on being Anti-Israel- and rather is just trying to not hurt the Linux mint brand now- Maybe He’s sincere and has changed his mind about Jews- but usually one doesn’t change their biases about some groups so quickly- and the things they said about a group reveal what’s in their heart-
