Re: What could be missing?

OK, so this is what I just did - because I really want to get to the
end of it and understand what the heck is going on....since this whole
thing doesn't seem to make much sense to me.
I cloned the larger system (where NEdit works fine) on its own
partition on the larger machine and started removing the packages,
hoping to recreate the faulty functionality in NEdit so as to pinpoint
the missing items.
Well, I got to the point where I have an almost exact copy of the
system within which NEdit doesn't work (but in this instance, located
on the main desktop machine) and here - lo and behold! - NEdit works
without a flaw! So, what gives? Is it a hardware-related type of
problem??
What I'm going to do next, later tonight, is transfer this (newly
created) filesystem from the desktop to the laptop and boot it there.
Now, if the same filesystem works on the desktop but not the laptop,
it will tell me it's definitely hardware-related.
But how could this possibly be? I don't seem to understand it. Any thoughts?
