[bugs at dperkins.org]

Perhaps my partial upgrade is leading to the problem.  Details below.
Thanks for your help!

I am not completely upgraded, because of some conflicts (ibus is not 
conflicting with anything here -- some other packages are).  Perhaps 
this is what is causing the problem.  Here is what will be upgraded and 
installed when I deal with the conflicts.

The following NEW packages will be installed:

I'll figure out how to handle the conflicts, do the upgrade, and try it 
again.

LXTerminal does not work.  lxterm works, though.
