  Thanks, Robert. The first part I assumed, the second is good information to
have.

  That's what I did periodically throughout the day. Kept a terminal window
open su'd to root just for that.

  Of course! In general, they occur when she is working in the checking
account register and opens an account window to edit that account
information. At some poing, I think after clicking on the
edit-account-window's OK button, it blanks then disappears, immediately
followed by the whole application shutting down. I've asked her to be aware
of what she's doing when it happens.

  Today she'll try re-subscribing to the mail list. Two evenings ago we
printed out all the docs and she read them through, so the oft-read response
of RTFM doesn't apply here.

Later,
