I was able to set some things this way, but some settings don't take
(such as screen resolution).

also, changing the theme to Tango didn't fix the missing icons (yes,
icons-tango-0.8.1_1 and icons-tango-extras-0.1.0_1 are both installed)

Adding xrandr to the .xinitrc file seems to have the screen resolution
and flicker fixed.

One other thing, though, the exit button (from the panel) now only has
the option to "Quit," which is doesn't do. Fortunately, this is pretty
easy to work around, just shutdown from an xterm.
