[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

As for diagnosis, I’ll try to get to it by end of week. I have a task I
absolutely have to finish this week. I am also currently on the train.  :-)

I *can* tell you from here that I am connecting to my Linux vms via Exceed
on Demand, an enterprise version of hummingbird exceed running on a windows
laptop and the windows are free floating on the windows side. There’s no
vm-side window manager.

I did notice that my vm has different fonts after the rebuild so I am
betting the culprit is probably the X software. But I have no record of the
software versions before the rebuild, so I don’t know how useful that
information will be.
