I really do apologize to the list. I lost my temper.
But I now have a system that just doesn't work. It's taken me the better
part of an hour to even send this email.
It seems the X11 is shot. I try to select a menu item (from any program,
Firefox, Thunderbird, Chrome) and I get the selections that used to be
in the top panel.... Which I have no idea where that went...
Please don't tell me to reinstall... I need X fixed. Yes... I CAN use
a terminal... just don't want to!
