However, after rebooting following the install, and logging in to

appearance of the desktop cycles thru a series of subtle but
disturbing changes that I'll call "wiggling" for want of a better
word.
I have seen behaviour more or less like this when the clock was set
wrongly, i.e. to 1904 or something, so check that the clock setting is
reasonable. (I have no idea why a bogus clock setting upsets gnome so
much.)
Paul.
A good thought. Unfortunately, the date & time are correct on this
machine.
I just did "aptitude update && aptitude upgrade" and it installed
newer versions of lots of gnome related stuff. But no joy. The
wiggles haven't gone away.
Still hoping that somebody can help me debug this thing!
