yes, it obviously did. not just the fonts and icons -- it's as if i'm
seeing the entire screen blown up about 50x, but because it's so big,
all my screen can display is the upper-leftmost corner of it. the
little icons in the corner or the screen, which are usually about 75px
big, are now about 200 or 250px. each.

(i'm typing here, there's no cut-and-paste, so only a little:)
orange:~> fetchmail -qf ~/.fetchmailrc
fetchmail: foreground fetchmail at 12515 killed.
104 messages for nori at sccs.swarthmore.edu (370945 octets)
reading messages for nori@sccs.swarthmore.edu:1 0f 104 (2704 octets)
..fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to

whitespace in attribute name: "reject_non_fqdn_hostname,

... and then i killed it, because i ran it before and just watched it
for a while, until i realized it wasprobably eating my spool. there
were 184 messages when i ran it the first time, now there are 104. oh
well, this is what i'm saving a backup of my messages on sccs for :)

commented out. that error's disappeared. another one that i forgot
to mention before is this one:
Error in /home/nori/.muttrc, line 877: in_reply_to: unknown variable
line 877 of ~/.muttrc reads:
set in_reply_to = "at %d, %a insinuated:"
i checked this against the manpage, and the %d and %a both should
work. ...?
i'm thinking also, btw, that manpages have also been affected by this
change -- every time i load a manpage it tells me
(null:) can't set locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct.
and i noticed something in the dselect menus about reconfiguring or
moving manpages or something ...
