Top toolbar missing after switching from debian 10 to debian 11 (bullseye)

[John White]

Thank you Paul,

alt-T opens the Tools menu just fine, so I will likely try it without a fixed Top Toolbar for a 
while as that might give me more typing space. So you answered my lyx question.  Thanks 
much.

For what its worth, I note that my default.ui is all by itself in root>user>share>lyx>ui.  

default.ui is also in my /usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui), along with stdtoolbars.inc, 
stdmenus.inc and stdcontext.inc, but lyx no longer points there for some reason.

Not sure why my lyx is accessing root>user>share>lyx>ui but am happy that I can now 
access the tools.

John
