Thanks for the pointer. The icon showed it was working off line but
nothing I did could persuade it to do other wise.
I ended up deleting all of the .gnome and .gconf directories for the
user so it appeared that the user had never logged in via X. Logging in
again as that user got everything working again. It also fixed a problem
I'd been having with calendars under Evolution.
