I put startx in her .bashrc (with a little wrapper so that it would
only run from the console, not an xterm window).

Certainly your GF can be similarly trained.

Well, at least not by me. I still have a hard time teaching her about
the concept of files and folders. :) And what I actually find more
important is that she grasps GUI concepts she will need in her work
life.

Get a new GF?

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
