The good news is I fired up the box after being away from it for a few days and logged in as rick. Lo and behold event-sounds! The bad(ish) news is that I don't know *why* unless perhaps there is a difference twixt being logged in as root vs. user. Or perhaps all that was needed was one more reboot At any rate, my system is now "finished" in the sense that everything I wanted is now there and working.
