Actually, we got it fixed. We installed the login flavor of Debathena,
but the only difference was that we opted to not install the extra
software packages (which were causing the problems we encountered earlier).
Though, my Linux Mint is still Debathena-less. I could be at SIPB on
Saturday afternoon, if you don't mind helping me try to set up Debathena
successfully. Thanks.
