	Yesterday I finally got around to realizing I had overlooked that 
suggestion, and tried it. Worked in a flash. Bless you!

	I keep my machines set to save every session, so it should be OK, 
now, right? (I just wonder about when whatever it is happens that has 
triggered the problem before. If/when it does, of course I'll repeat the 
remedy -- and bless you again. But it would be nice to know why it was 
happening, and that it couldn't again ...)

	Incidentally, I tried "yum remove compiz" on all three machines, 
and not one mentioned removing anything else for dependencies; so I did 
it. Seems as how that can only help ...
