Thanks to all who responded. As mysteriously as the problem appeared, it went away. All my desktop launcher icons work again. This could be an omen, but of what?

Okay, that's another good idea. I have a snapshot from Jan 1 of my entire system, which is definitely before the problem appeared. The external usb drive which I use for Timestamp has aboiut 400 GB free. My home directory contains about 529 GB. I want to back up all the files in my home directory wh...

xxxxx is NOT a specific application. xxxxx does NOT show up in the warning messages. Instead, emacs or blender or gimp show up. My apologies if I used confusing syntax. Any application I launch from a console behaves correctly. When I right-click on an icon a menu appears, as it should. If I select ...

Good idea, but a reboot changed nothing. The Menu works fine, as do icons on my Panel (which I think is what you mean by task bar) and I can launch from a console as well. All of my desktop icons fail, with the same popup window error message, which I showed in my initial post: Failed to run "x...

I use Xfce as my window manager. I have a launcher on my toolbar (taskbar?) for xfce4-terminal, with several tabs. Before the upgrade to 21.2 Victoria, the command line for this launcher did not have a --window option. It just created the window automatically. After the upgrade, I had issues with th...

Worked! Thank you.

I recently upgraded to 21 from 20.3. (And again upgraded to 21.1.) Under 20.3, I was able to run the game "Treasure of Nadia" through Steam. Now when I click on the green play button, after a few seconds the green button reappears. Here is my system info. (base) david@XPS:~/.steam/debian-i...

It worked! Thanks very much.

My install of python3 was to my home folder. I just needed to specify the full path to python3.
Thanks to all for your help.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

If it matters, I use LM20 Xfce 64-bit. I found a file "Lucida Sans Unicode.ttf" on the Intermet. I downloaded it, double-clicked on it, and clicked the Install button that popped up. So now the GUI application Fonts recognizes this font, https://i.ibb.co/dQ8Rhrg/Fonts-gui.png But the termi...

HAH! Thank you.
