Thanks, Doug. It did not occur to me to install another
desktop/window manager.
I suppose that I could create an alter-ego user and give the KDE
environment a try; drive space is not an issue. And I think that, at
log-in, GDM allows me to choose the desktop, so another username might
not be necessary.
I do think that something is broken, because I had several browser
crashes yesterday, with iceweasel, galeon, and epiphany, so that
browsing is becoming an unpleasant chore. And I am having trouble
printing PDF files, whether with evince or acroread.
