I figured it might be something along those lines, and can certainly see 
where the priorities are.

Thanks for the extra info.  My linux skills still aren't all that hot (I 
had to dig in the tar manpage to figure out how to extract a tar.bz2, 
for instance).  That worked with one minor point that I'll include here 
in case someone else has the same problem.  After going from 0.17 to 
0.18 with Minimalist-wide, and extracting and moving these files, the 
screen generated will be garbled (the icon/pictures are not laid out 
across the screen and paint on top of each other).  To fix it, switch to 
another theme and then switch back.  That will rebuild everything so 
that it all looks right again.

Jeff.
