	Alright.  After a 'dpkg -l | grep "desktop"', I get a new
package mentioned...desktop-base.  You can try:

# dpkg-reconfigure desktop-base

...and see if you get the real configuration screen to come back up.
debconf controls so much in debian, it's hard to  tweak most things
without breaking something, or having your configs over-written these
days..  I'm thinking of going to LFS and stripping everything back down
to bedrock linux.
