	I looked again, long and thoroughly, clicking on little arrows to 
expand things, and never even found Groups.

	I get this as user : 
[btth at Hbsk3 ~]$ dconf-editor &
[1] 12218
[btth at Hbsk3 ~]$ 
** (dconf-editor:12218): WARNING **: dconf-schema.vala:330: Unknown 
property on <schema>, extends

	(It puts the cursor on the next line (blank), but doesn't give me 
my prompt back till I hit ^C.)

	While I was at it, I also tried the same command as root -- and 
saw nothing any different.

	That did help, and I'm a lot happier than I was -- I have a 
visible cursor again. Many, many thanks!

	It's tiny, despite being set to size 48, but it is there. Now if 
only I can get to whatever governs its size, color, etc. ...
