Scott - thank you so much for that!! Saved me who knows how much time! 
Now, I'm running ICEWM and it ended up stopping the taskbar stuff. I did 
a restart via icepref, is there another way that I can add a restart to 
the window manager? Or maybe I'll just schedule it for oh-dark-hundred 
and it'll be taken care of when I log back in.

Thanks again!!
pete
