Thanks, Mike.
Here's something cool. So to speak. Everybody goes on about backlit keyboards, but
this 15-year-old Thinkpad has been chugging along so faithfully that it has a *heated*
keyboard!

It seems to do harm, but I'd just as soon install whatever is needed to
make the error go away. Anybody know which package I need?
$ apt-file search libkgtk2.so

I had a T61 from 2007 but it kept overheating until eventually it
died and I had to get a P72 in 2018.
The P72 has been very reliable thus far.

I hope you've cleaned the fan and cooling fins.
I bought one used laptop and found a felt pad of hair had built up on
the cooling fins inside the machine. The seller was surprised when I
said I hope his white dog was doing well.
Linux does run quite well on "obsolete" hardware. We benefit from
Microsloth's "upgrade treadmill" with barely used hardware being sold
off every time the newest 'Doze won't run on it.

Yup, I'm pretty careful about those things. And the IBM design is actually
pretty good in that regard. (Though I do need to clean out the desktop
machine before long.)
Keyboard after long use is *slightly* warm to the touch in part because
it's been really cold here and everything is cold to the touch.

Good machines. I still have every Thinkpad I've ever owned, including the
tine TP 500 from 30 years ago and a 750C (the C means it has a color
display) with a cool keyboard that tilts toward you when you open the
machine. All still run -- the 750C has OS/2 on it. I used it to see if you
could compile all of KDE (probably 2.x) in the time it took to drive from
Danbury, Connecticut to Key West, Florida (you couldn't unless you drove
very slowly).
Then again, I still have my old DataVue Spark 8088 machine with its two
720k floppies . . .
