Hello, I have recently had develop a non-serious but annoying issue. On starting the system loads as usual and my mouse is working etc. The problem is when I click on (say) the desktop Firefox icon it doesn’t respond (neither does Thunar or Thunderbird). When I say they don’t respond none of the desktop icons react at all. I can access all the programs via the Whisker menu so no probs but strangely about 10-15mins later those icons I clicked on will work ie Firefox opens, Thunderbird will open. Any suggestions? It seemed to have followed a quite major update recently but other than that nothing has changed. System info follows:
