Ah, sorted finally.  I was typing in su mousepad when it should indeed
have been sudo mousepad.  It was one of those times when you just
don't see exactly what you are typing.  Anyway, I managed to get
mousepad running as su and edited xorg.conf succesfully.  I now have a
nice none shimmering screen to view.  While I was about it I also
edited the gdm files to allow me to log in as root if I so desire (not
often but sometimes and I like to have the choice).  This Xfce isn't
too bad really :-)
