Actually my normal desktop is Xfce (running Xfce 4.4b2) but I have

Done did that again just now and still no luck. The problem might be
HW related as this eMachines laptop is falling apart (it's only 1 year
and 8 months old!!). I wish I could afford a new laptop but living on a
fixed income (and being legally homeless to boot) makes things like food
and clothes a higher priority. :-(
Thanks for responding, though.
