Thanks, Hugh. No squealing before changing the pads or cleaning the rims.
Now, I just need to be doing well enough to wrench!

I use the Yokozuna/Mathauser salmons riv sells for the R559 brakes, if you
have those brakes. No squeal so far.

My experience with Kool Stop salmon pads (which I use on most of my bikes)
is that even when the toe-in is set correctly, they squeal when they are
new. Usually for the first 10-20 miles. Then they tend to settle in and
quiet down. If the toe is set wrong, they will squeal relentlessly.
Thanks, Tim! Since nothing else was adjusted, I'll presume my moron
mechanic eliminated too much toe-in! Grin.

My 'tool' for toe-in has always been a biz card/credit card. Just thick
enough to angle it in.

FWIW, the Salmons on my Rivs squeal under hard braking when temps dip much
below 50*F. At 60*F, no squeal. Single pivot calipers, but top end ones.
And this phenomenon started only a year or 2 ago -- never saw it before.
Sanding pads and cleaning rims don't stop it, tho' it mitigates it.
These
Huh. I did clean my rims, for the first time ever. Perhaps that was a
mistake. Grin.

I don't toe in.
I loosen the shoes and I just press the pads flat against the rims at the
same time. I use a small bungee cord to hold the brake lever down to hold
pads against rim simultaneously while I adjust the shoes up and down
tilt/height against the braking surface of the rim 'til I get
Heaven knows these have gotten plenty wet, between creek crossings, snow,
and meltoff. Grin.

Deacon,
I had this same problem with my slimline koolstop Salmon pads mounted on my
Atlantis. I decided to replace them with new
http://www.koolstop.com/english/supra2.html
I went with a shorter pad because I felt it would be easier to toe, for me that
proved to be the case.
I agree with
If the toe-in is set correctly you can try lightly abraiding the pads with
some sandpaper. If your rim has a build up of rubber or dirt abraid them
with a scotch bright pad or fine sand paper.Clean all surfaces with alcohol.
Hope you get rid of the annoying squeal.:) I know clean is not a word
Keven had suggested that I use a folded over piece of sandpaper to set
toe-in. Depending on the sanding grit (probably greater than 320), I would
guess that would put it at about a dime or credit card. I use Grant's
trick of hooking a section of innertube around the brake lever to hold it
in
