Well, after posting, I thought I'd try to install synaptic, to give me greater access. And indeed, the apps I was looking for were there. All except xscreensaver. I still had to use the command line to install it. Worked fine. My vote: some ability to install whatever is available in the repositories, without having to jump all over the place to find stuff. Many thanks!
