It seems that nvidia no longer support the open-source driver. In any
case, I'm getting perfectly good graphics.I'm being shown the logon
screen for my sessions and all the graphics inside the program windows.
What I'm not being shown is anything behind the screens. No theme, no
panel, no ability to load any program I can't get at from my email
client.

The only reason I can access my email is that it automatically starts
when I start a session.

It's a system-wide problem, in that the same thing happens whichever
user I log on as,
