Well, whatever the underlying reason was, it is gone, hopefully for 
good; most likely one of the following fixed it:

- Changed screen resolution from 800x600 @ 16bit to 1280x1024 @ 24bit. 
In my first install attempt I had set the resolution to 1280x1024 right 
from the start, but in the subsequent install attempts I was lazy about it.

- Moved all the contents of the user's home directory into a 
subdirectory thereof. As mentioned already, /home resides on a separate 
partition, and wasn't rebuilt from scratch during the subsequent install 
attempts.

I tend to suspect the latter, actually.
