I'm afraid you're way over my head. I'm in XFce now. Comannding sol gets
me what looks like a game of solitaire; I don't know what strace is, much
less how to do anything "through" it ...

I got into it all right, but like any code, it's geek to me. I could c&p
"ulimit -c unlimited" into it -- somewhere -- but since I can't read it, I
have no faintest glimmer *where* to put it; and I'm sure it matters ...

While you're getting to this, I see if there are any visible under KDE
now; I can barely make out the tiny font XFce uses in its idea of a
terminal, and don't know whether this answers the case for it :
[root@localhost btth]# cd /home/btth
[root@localhost btth]# ls -a | grep core
[root@localhost btth]#
