      I've created a new libertine container and installed some apps via the System Settings Libertine panel but no icons show up in the Desktop Apps scope, even after reboot. I can launch desktop apps via the command-line though.

        @droid001 Are you at stable or rc? In stable, they do not show up automatically. You have to swipe from the bottom to see the desktop app icons. Mark the little star the right, then this list will become a second page*, so you can switch with right/left swipe.
        (*) I don't know the official name.

          I think you're referring to scopes.

            @adeliepenguin Yes, I've done that but the Desktop Apps scope is completely empty of icons. As I mentioned though the apps can be launched via command line so there definitely are functioning desktop programmes installed.

              From what I'm guessing you're in stable.
              A solution might be to switch to RC channel and wait for OTA12.
              I don't have more insights cause I never used libertine... yet.

                If you have functioning desktop apps, don't switch to RC. The experience is degraded at the moment.

                  So is it only my machine which has this problem or is it a problem across all installations of OTA-11? Because I have had icons in the Desktop Apps scope before.

                    I cannot reproduce your issue on my M10 FHD on stable.

                      @arubislander Thanks, I know it's a problem with my device then. Might be looking at reinstalling the OS as there are a few other things which have become wonky on the system.

                        Reinstalled the system keeping the user setting but didn't manage to get Desktop Apps on the tablet.
