I ended up reinstalling XF86 stuff again, not all of it, and then
running a configuration program and chmoding the resulting XFConfig

I knew to look at dot files when I tried removing the temp files.
Gnome tends to leave a bunch of those around and since a Gnome program
had crashed, I thought doing that might be helpful.
