In an ideal world, of course, I should not be the one to have to make the distinction. ::grin::
In fact, this bug was caused by me; on install, I wouldn't let ubuntu format my /home partition, and the problem was caused by a permissions error. I can never keep all those different Xorg log files straight - I'm an old UNIX fogey at heart. Many thanks; AFAIC the issue is closed. And next time I'll remember about support requests.
