I see I was partly blind. yes, there is a config file for root but 
also one in the user's directory (each user's directory to be 
precise).

it contains nothing interesting, just an Autostart instruction, Michael, just as you say.

sorry for the false start.

I didn't find anything here. I dug as far as
/opt/trinity/etc/xdg/menus/

but grep came up empty.

Charles, asking which program I'm using: not 'arandr' but a variant, 
"tderandrtray" which comes with the Trinity KDE desktop (old KDE, a 
further development of KDE3). 'locate' reveals nothing interesting.

my guess is something in the display configuration has been altered. 
'monitor.xml' looks sane (to me); not sure where else to look.

I would be happy just to re-install this or that to fix it but I don't 
have time to do a reinstall of the whole chimichanga, not right now.

I am getting comfortable with the second user; I'm sudoing around but 
may try to migrate and rename.
