  I did a stupid thing....I su'd as root and launched UserManager, and 
changed the group of the account I was logged in on! Workspace promptly
froze up on attempted logout, and now whenever I boot I get a tiny little
window in front of the loginwindow, logged in as root. If I type "logout"
there, boot proceeds, but then the mouse tracking doesn't work! The right
button does pop up a the menu, but the cursor (if it appears at all) doesn't
move and no menu items are highlighted. I hope I haven't fried a chip or
something....

  Also--I just got a CD-ROM drive; I removed it and tried, no luck. Would
faulty termination cause a problem like this?

  Anxiously anticipating any response or help,

  Nik A Gervae
