Of course, I couldn't wait. User is all set and I'm obviously no linux
sysadmin... or whatever.

Problem with slowness using gnome-shell was caused by user being in the
'video' group. Hmm. Not entirely needed, I guess. Can't say what's up
with that.

Anyway, I might stick with this, be ahead of the curve, or suffer
needlessly, for a bit. Nice to know I worked on documenting a fix for
vertical gnome-panels, but may not need it now...

Sorry for the noise.

Cheers,
