Done.

The problems that I am aware of so far:

I seem to be stuck with KDE though I specified at least two other desktops.
The login screen did not have an obvious option for another desktop.
man -k desktop showed me xfdesktop,
but I'm not at all sure that running it from within KDE is the thing to do.

I have a terminal window set for 80 characters across and an 11pt font.
When I sshed into another machine, I got a bigger font and fewer characters.
The preferences are still set for 11pt monospace.
Does this mean that the remote site sent some control characters?

Which of these should I worry about?

The teminal situation is weirder than I had originally thought.
I can produce more terminal windows, but none like I started with.
Right-clicking on the terminal icon (grrrr) list the
first terminal window and new window as options.
Clicking on new window produces a window with
a different toolbar and a different color scheme.
Probably this is all KDE funkiness and not an install issue.
