   Well, I tried the alt-ctrl-PrtScr alt-ctrl-e combinations and ended up having   
   to cut the power for a while and then reboot with an older kernel (the   
   previous version).  Let's just say I won't be trying that again in a hurry.   
   Obviously I need to see what went wrong but I may even need to buy a new PC as   
   a primary, given that my old emergency backup PC died completely in September   
   and I have been living without a safety net ever since.
