Yes, that's what it says. There is another line that says "nice-value=-10".

Sorry, no joy: it's happy that there's nothing to install. I tried removing
it and reinstalling it (well, it's the sort of thing one always tries in
Windoze!) and it didn't help.
Googling the problem reveals some folks discussing files called "Xauthority"
and "xinitrc" which are in the home directory. I have no such files.
Should I, perhaps?
