I wonder if the following has anything to do with this problem:
I have an nvidia driver with an odd version number, as well as one with a version matching my kernel:
--> dkms status
nvidia/535.54.03, 5.19.0-1010-nvidia, x86_64: installed
nvidia/535.54.03, 5.19.0-45-generic, x86_64: installed
I've never seen one with a number like "1010" as part of the kernel version.
Do I need both of these?
Should I remove everything with "1010" in it (see below)?
When I issue this command:
dpkg -l linux-image-* linux-headers-* linux-modules-* linux-objects-* linux-signatures-*'
I see this (and only hope these are the needed & correct kernel items):
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

My question, then, would be: Am I perhaps using the wrong nvidia driver which may be causing Caja to crash and causing anomalies like blinking icons?
(Also just noticed that "22.04.1" is indicated in the files above, when everything else (inxi, neofetch, hardinfo) tells me I'm on 22.04.2).
