    Ummm...I'm not sure what you're saying: are you saying the currently
    pango version (v1.12.4-i486-1) is the culprit? Should i upgrade it? But,
    why would the currently installed pango version all of a sudden cause
    the problem? Maybe it became corrupted? Should I just re-install it? I'm
    sorry, I just don't get it...maybe it's because I absolutely minimize
    having to read between the lines or making assumptions.
    
    BTW, just for the heck of it, I logged in as another using xfce,
    everything was a blank white box. Maybe I should just upgrade to Slack
    12 - though, I'm not happy about this quirk on my system now.
    
    Having said all that...I am about 99.999999% confident that the problem
    was not caused by j-pilot. Sorry for the original post to this list - I
    should have done more testing/searching before I posted.
