   Shawn,   
      
   I recommend that you make time to do a clean Debian install. Most   
   packages on your system are probably ok, but there may be a few like   
   thunderbird where you accidentally have a non-default install which   
   can lead to unexpected behavior. The problem is that it's not easily   
   possible to tell which packages are in this unintended state. Backup   
   your user config and data before doing a new install.   
      
   Thank you,
