I just "restored" the ipod with the latest ipod updater in windows, and
I'm starting fresh with gtkpod. When I loaded the ipod into windows
itunes, the library seemed corrupt (tons of Xs with arrows where songs

Hm... nope that didn't work, either. Now I'm going through adding tracks
artist by artist to see if any of them cause particular trouble...
