Hi.  At least I survived.  I ran this:

$ killall xfwm4 && afterstep & disown

Rapid changes took place on the screen, I caught a glimpse of error 
messages and found myself at the log-in screen.  I logged in.  afterstep 
is not running; xfwm4 is.  A fairly mild dose of the usual result I get 
from command line activity.

Any ideas?  (It transpires that ozganizator works in a different way - 
it does not compel windows to open in a particular desktop but relocates 
them to the pre-set desktops when you run it.  It does work to that 
extent - I was expecting an unintended effect.)

Cheers.
