OK.  That appears to work.

ea> I don't know if that's [two "InputDevice" sections in 
XF86Config-4] intended or not. But if some people have several
mice, then there must be several InputDevice sections of type mouse in the
config file.

A single "InputDevice" section seems OK in 
this case.  The 2nd is commented out.  I'll
assume that debconf was overzealous.

So now "startx xpdf" concludes thus.
'/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm:  bad command line option "xpdf"

usage:  /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm [-version] [-help] [-display displayname]
   ...

Type /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -help for a full description.'

Any insight about xterm getting into the 
act here?  I've scanned the initialization 
files and the manpages for startx & etc. 
Nothing particularly relevant.

Thanks,    Peter E.
