Thanks a bunch for the quick response and the education, Olivier.

I played around some more, got ccsm and fusion-icon installed, and it 
seems to be a *little* better. At least the desktop doesn't lock up.

But every time I close a window, fusion-icon dies. I have to run 
fusion-icon again.

I'll keep banging on it.
