I suppose I'll get used to using all those graphical "aids" but I'm
comfortable at a Unix commandline, I was taught that one only logged
in as root under the most dire of circumstances, am too lazy to dump
out of X and restart just to do sys admin stuff, and have found some
of the graphic config stuff to be a bit flakey and just add another
layer of confusion to the situation. I guess there's also a side of
me that wonders what the effects of the interface debates will be on
accrued knowledge of these graphical config tools. Opinions?

This does appear to be the case. All is well in Larry-land though as
I now have penguin icons when I log in. Now the only question is why
do I want penguin icons when I log in (grin).

Ah...I'm not losing my mind.
