   I tried earlier sessions, but the one I wanted wasn't showing.  I   
   couldn't tell you which one it was but whatever the one I was using with   
   Ubuntu 18.04.  I wanted to see if that one was still available as it was   
   the one I was the most used to.  My desktop still has it since I only   
   upgraded and didn't do a fresh install.  I'll have to check the name of   
   that one.   
      
   This KDE Plasma seems ok, but I would still like to have most of my   
   access icons to the left side and my email and browser icons at the top   
   right too, the way it used to be but so far haven't figured out how.  I   
   have widgets going across the top of the screen.  If I move them to the   
   left side, the clock gets too small.  Now if I could figure out how to   
   keep the clock and date at the top right, I'd be in business.
