A letter to feindster’s support department:

—
why is frienster all of a sudden sending spam to my contact list?

Somehow, not sure how, you’ve discovered people I know who aren’t even on my list. I haven’t logged in to friendster.com in probably a year, and just the other day two of my friends are complaining that I keep sending them friendster spam.

What gives? This is absolutely rediculous, especially to do it without my knowledge. The only way I knew initially is because a friend of mine had an autoresponder on his email account.

I am cancelling this account, as I am truly disappointed in the shenanigans.

Here’s how to get through to an operator:

Go here, and pick your topic:
http://tinyurl.com/8kvsq

(I came back with this number, but it varies depending on question topic and location).
Californai - General banking: 1.800.622.8731 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m., 7 days a week

When you get the automated menu, hit “*” (star) and you’ll get an operator.

Ok, so I spent the better part of the night messin’ around with the XFCE4 desktop, because I somehow had erroneously made my entire background disappear, as well as the main system menu which appears when you right-click the mouse.

After scouring the web all night, I came across this post.

Basically, in short (Nautilus is to blame):

“I guess that’s because xfdesktop is not running.
Kill all instance of Nautilus, then launch xfdesktop. When you’re fine,
log out, and log back in. If the session manager is running (this may
cause Nautilus to launch every time you log in) it should restore
everything as you expect…”

It’s also supposed to be answered somewhere in this FAQ, but I found the paragraph above fixed the issue for me!
