True, but the first thing I noticed is that some of my text editors were acting a little weird, and wouldn't launch. I didn't think that so important at the time. Next thing is that I noticed the "strange visitors"; but these occurred after an upgrade, for which nothing different was added, and nothing to do with Gnome or TDE or anything remarkable. > > I am confident that the computer is fine for doing work, or at least it > will be once you stop "fixing" it and actually do fix it.

I only tried to track down Gnomish packages after Nik's remark, and I kept track of what was removed and installed. Then I did another system reinstall, and haven't removed anything.
