I just rebooted and was pleased to discover that the problem was 
"mysteriously" fixed.  At some point during my troubleshooting, I must 
have done an apt-get install kdm, because when I rebooted just a few 
minutes ago, I was presented with the kdm login screen instead of the 
gdm screen I had before, and everything is now back to how it was 
previously (including still not being able to download pictures out of 
the camera due to the connection timing out).

So that's one less problem to be thinking about while I'm away over the 
weekend.  Now to continue work on the gphoto problem as well as the 
network issues...

BTW, are there alternatives to gphoto2 for camera access?  Perhaps using 
something else will do the job...
