I'm not sure about that. I certainly never created a user 521. I have
two accounts, jjj (normal) and jcj (for emergencies). If a user 521 was
there he was created by some package. 

I was also having a lot of trouble selecting text, and that problem
has also disappeared. For example, I would try to delete some stuff in
an e-mail reply and I would get a weird popup on top of the area I was
selecting. It was usually when I was trying to select some text with a
> in it.
