OK. A bit of fiddling with the digitizer cable didn't help, so I put the machine back together and it's back to how it was before it broke. I also played with it a bunch and concluded that running it in lefty-sideways mode made the icon bar thing not an issue and was just generally better all around. It'll need to be restored from backup, but I'm guessing you were already figuring on that. Feel free to drop by any time to pick it up; I'm mostly around this weekend, modulo meeting up with an out of town friend on Friday afternoon sometime.
