    I just noticed on that massive update I did last week that two new icons   
   appear on the lower right corner of my desktop, one (^) a circle with an   
   up arrow that sets forth any updates when clicked; and two, another circle   
   like a sun, half white/half black that is for screen brigtness. They   
   appear next to the Time/Date (I guess as widgets - although I did not set   
   them up) and appeared with the last "zypper dup."
