I am indeed saying exactly that, alas!, yes.
An earlier post by "home user via users" says "The executable
will be "/usr/bin/xeyes." Using that as a command (by root) does create
one pair of eyes, but they don't make it onto the panel meny. Do I just
need to reboot? I will in a little while, anyway.
OK..... Just a note to others on this thread. MATE has its own "built-in"
eyes
that goes on the panel. So, let's not get off-track.
The "panel eyes" of MATE are supplied in the package mate-applets. The current
version is mate-applets-1.20.2-1.fc28. Is that installed? If it is, you may still
want to try "dnf reinstall mate-applets" to see if that changes things.
