running and requiring a ctl-alt-backspace kill of x.org to restore 
response of any kind to a mouse click.  However, since the X restart, it 
has not repeated that bit of unpleasantness.

Cheers, Gene
People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
