I always put my most frequent favorites at the top or bottom of the list anyway--easy to drag and drop them there. We have to give those that suffer from OCD something to do, eh?
I don't think the list has changed, except for adding the conky toggle and task manager since mx15 and that was only the manual link.

What order do you want?

Tell the suckers that whatever order random order they are in was determined by careful studies of feng shui to make them harmonize...wait, is this a public thread? DELETE DELETE DELETE

Does the brightness-controller program do anything to help?

This: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/10/fix-brig ... -very.html may also help.

I am sorry - the "brightness controller program"? What I have done each time so far is simply rightclick on the power icon and then slide the brightness to the right, which works fine but is a pain. I will test the settings on the ubuntu page that you referenced, but I don't recall this same unit having any such problems on MX16 (recently it had been running Manjaro without this issue either, but I am switching it back to MX) ;-)

Although not specifically MX-Linux 17 b3 issue - thought i'd share that i managed to install Vivaldi 1.14.1030.3 (Official Build) snapshot (64-bit) which now has (as of today) sync option (bookmarks, p.w.,notes, extensions) and was just thrilled to try a first sync here and to see that everything seems to be syncing just fine with the version i had previously setup on Windows!

Vivaldi has made history in a big way today!
