Well, I just bit the bullet and did a fresh install from CD.  I figured
it was faster than trying to repair the upgrade, since I had very little
system stuff installed.

Upon logging in for the first time, I'm appalled at the new window
manager (or whatever they call them these days).  how do I get back
to something sane that resembles the old Gnome interface from F14?
If even I can't figure out how to do anything useful, my kids & wife
will certainly never use Linux again.
