This box has been at it (rebuilding desktop file) since 2:30 this afternoon and
hasn't yet finished booting. I suspect there's a problem, as it previously took
only a minute or two. It won't let me do anything other than shut down. I've
rebooted it once, and it simply went back to what is was doing, which doesn't
seem to be leading anywhere.
