I have tried the rm -rf .gnome* thing. It didn't help. For completeness,
I tried a brand new user. It didn't help either.

I tried this, too, and lo and behold, it worked! It started up just like
I would have expected it to. WTF? What would it be trying to do on a
network that it doesn't do if there isn't one? Any ideas? It seems like
an awful pain to turn off networking, startx, and turn it back on again.

Amen to that! :-)

Thanks for your help! This was totally a direction I wasn't headed. I
guess now I need to fire up ethereal and see if I can sniff some traffic
from it.
