Ok, this will likely muddy the issue even more...
In tracking down why my Activities Manager was still showing only black thumbnails, I noted from another thread that maui-plasma5-shells was no longer needed anymore (http://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread.php?tid=23999) and removed the package.
Upon reboot, my thumbnails returned.
Uh ohhhhhhh, oh dear me, yes we do now have waters muddy to the point of opacity. I also had read that post, & after it i also removed that package. Writing this now, long after the event, i cannot recall with certainty if in that same uptime session i also then removed my aforesaid Activity Pager widget, OR if that was in a separate session. I think, but am not certain now, that my first action was the widget removal then logout/in [& saw my AM thumbnails were good again], followed in that subsequent session by the package removal. Obviously, to be scientifically precise about this [ie, only change one variable at a time], i "should" reverse both steps & begin again... but this little red duck sure as hell aint gonna risk the Wrath of Zeus all over again by looking this gift horse in its mouth.
