Easier that setting 500,000 files and folders to 644/755. I think it was MX-16 that did NOT mount NTFS and exFAT as 777 like it ...

I use this to discover which installed packages depend on gtk2...

# list apps that depend on gtk2...
apt-cache rdepends --installed libgtk2.0-0 | tail -n +3 | sort

I have a few that I hope will not stop working if/when gtk2 goes away.
