By golly, that did the trick! Thanks Smoot! I now have to configure
Firefox back to my likings, but that's no big deal, as it is now
starting up with no problems, and I no longer have to use gksu to
accomplish it. 8-)

Now to figure out why Nautilus keeps tossing a crash nearly every time I
shut it down. I guess now I'll install those updates that have been
waiting for me to decide whether or not I was going to re-install Ubuntu.

By the way, do you know how to formulate regular expressions for grep? I
asked about it in a previous post, and I would really like to know what
I was doing wrong there.
