	When I clicked the launcher for system-config-services and gave 
it root's password, NM came up marked Disabled. But the minute I 
highlighted it, it both enabled and started itself. So I re-disabled and 
re-stopped it.

	Then I restarted Firefox -- id est, tried to, with its updater. 
It flashed something into the proper square on the workspace switcher; I 
clicked to go there, and found it trying to open Firefox. It failed 
immediately.
