Sorry it took so long for me to report back; the fact is that the system got 
so bad I couldn't use it, and it took about a month to get a new system 
working.

I now believe it was some kind of hardware incompatibility, because I 
installed 64-bit Kubuntu 9.10 on new hardware and moved over the entire user, 
and now everything is running perfectly (except that occasionally the desktop 
crashes and restarts without losing anthing; all the other windows stay open).

So I'm staying with Kubuntu 9.10 for now.
