That did it! I downloaded and installed 4.0.0.8 and it's working fine; that is
it's fully

Well actually, I single clicked on the downloaded .deb file, which launched the
Package
Installer. After the package had been installed, I went into Muon, (which is

Package Manager in Kubuntu, (and presumably Ubuntu)) and marked the package as
locked to
stop the Upgrade Manager nagging me about a new version being available.
Thanks for the help. Spot on as usual.
