Stranger and stranger. I was just about to add to my last reply, that
I'd examined every file that looked like it might be relevant
in /home/.config, .gconf, .gnome2 and .gnome2_private and not found
anything that looked like the relevant setting. And then, mirabile
dictu, after I hit 'reply' for my last post, up popped a prompt re
closing the original after replying. I changed nothing, so I have no
idea where that came from!

Thanks anyway.
