Thanks for the suggestions Matt.

The wxPython switch is set to 0, not to install.  Here's the tail of  
the log, sorry it's redundant I spoze from the several times I tried  
to restart.  But I DO have numpy installed via sudo apt-get install  
python-numpy, so it's in the normal directory (  
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy ) as well as one I did from  
source ( /usr/local/...) but that I didn't think that path would be  
searched.

I also already installed gtk+-2.12.12 for wxPython (also separately  
installed), both by hand successfully.  These are in "safe" paths so  
as not to confuse the X11, gdm and gnome stuff throughout.

I had wondered it might be a server problem, momentary glitch...
