Is it possible to arrange for gnome-apt to be usable by a non-root user?
To run it as root I have to mess about with X authorization and even
once that is done my GTK themes aren't respected. I guess my question

And I think that sharing of IRQs by serial ports is a kernel config
option. It may be that your particular kernel can't do it.
When I exit fvwm and restart it the pager window background goes black.
This is on Debian Potato Fvwm 2.2.2.

I regularly update my system using apt-get. Occasionally, however, I
might want to hold back a package (exim, at the moment). Can I do this
other than by using dselect? I have scoured the dpkg and apt-get man

Just comment out the route add -net line from your /etc/init.d/network
