I guess I would have gone the other way and renamed the user rpalmer again... (The following may not be the BEST way to do it but gets the job done.)

sudo -i

do

   perl -p -i -e "s/ralph/rpalmer/g;" $x

done

mv /home/ralph /home/rpalmer

exit

That finds "ralph" in all of the login-related files and changes the string to "rpalmner", then as a final step (the most critical to you) it renames your home directory back to rpalmer.

Thanks to all who have participated in this thread! After much anguish, a major restart, and following Kevin Cole's advice, I'm now successfully running LilyPond 2.23.6 and Frescobaldi 3.2. I think I'll wait awhile before upgrading to LilyPond 2.23.9. Whew!

All the best,

Ralph
