I briefly took this discussion with Michael offlist.  Anyway, the system 
seemed to behave itself better with kde minimal, but still locked up 
once.  I tried xfce again and fought with it to configure the menu like 
I wanted.

http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu in case anyone's interested.

Thanks to this depression the politicians say is we're not in the middle 
of, I had to move to America's bug factory (Kentucky).  Since money is 
tight I'll have to make do with the card I have now for a bit longer. 
I'd like to thank all of you who have helped me figure out what the 
problem is.  I'll keep these emails so when I can get another card, I'll 
have some ideas about where to get one.  Try to imagine living in 
Lukeville and not being able to make a quick trip to Fry's or your 
neighborhood computer store on a whim.

It's two hours later here so I'm off to bed.
