Thanks. That might explain why it didn't show in a search for "red" :-)

I'm running Gnome, so I'm using Karmic by virtue of Synaptic having
installed the relevant libraries. I poked Software Sources to see if it
would find anything, but according to them I am fully updated. I'm doing
a test install of Lucid next week on another Dell, so I'll check it out;
after which, the machine on which I get the error will become the
sacrificial test platform so I can break things on it :-)
