I've got two machines, sitting side by side.  One is the Beige G3  
PowerMac that started all this.  The other is a G4 Powermac.  They  
are both running up-to-date Debian etch.  Both are configured for the  
GNOME desktop manager.

I did the series of magical passes described in the message b9  
pointed to on each of them.   The wigglys on the G3 are now gone.   
Hurrah!


I've done enough messing around on the G3 that I don't trust the  
config files to be meaningful, so I'm not going to send them yet.

I'll do a complete re-install from scratch on the G3 then do b9's  
magic again.  I'll send the config files from that one.

Enjoy!
