I finally went ape and re-installed from the latest stretch build. 
Initially, with the nouveau driver, XFCE$  synaptic (and others) drop 
down menus worked. I installed nvidia-driver and it installed everything 
related to nvidia. Rebooted and with the nvidia driver running, synaptic 
still worked. THEN I created an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, rebooted, and 
it all went to h-e-double hockey sticks with the black screen and active 
mouse pointer. Synaptic borken again.

And yes, I have a 4 monitor setup via two video cards. It has worked 
well for several years. I rebooted into Xubuntu 16.04 on another drive, 
it works just fine. I copied that xorg.conf file to my Debian drive 
/etc/X11, rebooted, no go. I removed xorg.conf, rebooted and no problems 
other than using one monitor out of four.  Xubuntu works, Stretch not. I 
would love to know where the difference is so I could make a sane bug 
report. Ric
