Ack. I'm not ready to upgrade X yet. I found putting an .xsession in my
home directory that calls /usr/bin/kde2 makes it work sort of. Fonts are a
little screwy, like it's coming up in 75 dpi where it has been 100 dpi. I'm
thinking I have a busted link in either /etc/X11 or /etc/alternatives. I've
been comparing notes between this box and my Thinkpad trying to figure out
what the problem really is, but haven't found a smoking gun yet.
