OK. I screwed up. I forgot I installed simple compiz and compiz manager, as
usual. In Compiz holding down alt key while using two fingers on a
downstroke on the touch pad caused the current window to become invisible
while exposing the underlying screen. More significantly holding down the
super {or windows key} button and scrolling with two fingers on the pad
caused it to zoom in.
Again. Mea culpa.
