Well, you were both correct, I am missing sys-usb. I also now know one way to break a Qubes installation! In the absence of this being installed at the start, I attempted to do it manually, as per the Documentation. The qube got created OK, but when I went to open it the whole system froze... I did a "hard" powerdown and tried to restart; wasn't asked for a passphrase to decrypt the system and eventually I got a lot of incomprehensible (to me) messages. Time for a re-install (not a big deal, I'm still learning Qubes rather than using it for real). I then noticed that the option to create sys-usb was greyed out, because I was installing to a USB flash drive (and have a wireless USB mouse) so that's one mystery solved. All more-or-less working again, and I have a "proper" SSD on order. Thanks again for your help.
