Pardon, what is the "launcher area"?

I've had a number of problems with F8, on which I run KDE:

o Xscreensaver only blacks out a part of the screen.  The xscreensaver
documentation says that this is probably because the X-Window System is
reporting the screen size wrong, at least to the call that xscreensaver
uses.

o The font size in the Evolution message info window is always very
small, probably 9 point.  gnome-appearance-properties, which purports to
control such things has no effect, though it does control the Evolution
Composer and MailReader windows.

o There are moderately frequent flashes (I don't know how else to
describe them) towards the upper left corner of the screen.

o The Mem pane of the System Guard *Applet* (not the full application)
reports errors on all of its sensors.

o There have been a large number of Selinux problems (33 at last
report), which went away (i.e. no *more* were reported) after I followed
the advice in the Selinux Troubleshoot to "touch /.autorelabel; reboot",
after which no new Selinux errors have been reported, but also the
Evolution icon problems started.

I tried switching to Kubuntu, but it's even worse.  Evolution is
unusable because the data server kept crashing as soon as I opened the
Contacts pane.
