But all is well, now!

What happened is that I located a skinny screwdriver as per your advice and obediently pried the spacebar cover off, and there were two of these plastic things, teeny arms, and they were both obviously afflicted with plastic fatigue. I just touched one and it fell off, and that wasn't even the one on the right (nonworking) side. Gateway gives cheap keyboard. So I even more gentle touched the other one, and it fell right off too. So I was sending funny looking spaceless msgs about and getting the advice not to wait for UPS to deliver the replacement one but just to go to CompUSA or someplace and buy one, when suddenly I remembered that there was one in the next room.

Sheesh.
