Thanks all! To make this more findable, and to allow better annotation (since
my not-quite-complete solution still has problems), I have made
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/18171/how-to-tell-graphical-emacs-to-shutdown-cleanly-from-tty1/18172#18172
. Your assistance cleaning up the remaining problems (indicated @ link target)
would be much appreciated.

Relevant, but not currently pressing, due to
- *much* bigger problems in my life :-(
+ my X hangs with f < monthly
~ I suspect it's due to the relative immaturity of Cinnamon (but ICBW--I'm
certainly no expert in this domain)
Your assistance is appreciated! Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>
