I didn't reinstall the system. What I did what was almost as "sledge hammer to crack a nut" though. I just removed all my "." [dot] directories and other than .xsessionrc, rebooted the system and went on from there. I know I should have renamed them of just removed the "." one by one to discover the culprit. I would have helped someone else as well as myself. However, as it is with most of these things, I just got sick of it and decided to use haste instead of speed and get it done. I hadn't manually made any changes, so the system made the changes after an upgrade. But didn't correct itself after a couple more upgrades. So I used that method to get back into being able to use the lappy in GUI mode as User instead of Root. Thanks to both of you for your time and your help, it was appreciated.
