Well, it was gremlins in the other system -- actually the power cable to the
drives was a bit flaky, so anything that would access the drive (ex. df, ls,
etc.) would hang, with a corresponding linear increase in the overall
load average.

This time, it's different -- and it seems to have gone away in the last
urpmi --auto-select.

msec is standard; I don't raise it higher. root would hang as well as a user.
No difference there.

Reboot & urpmi seems to have fixed this problem -- now there's no kicker 
panel on my kde. D&*thing came up in twm :(
