2. Further information
As the problem is to do with Open, Save, Save-As and as the problem is
`global',
that is, affects any application I have tried and as it is most unlikely that
Ubuntu
has released a desktop system with all Open, Save, Save-As programs broken,
the problem may be due to permissions - and it is!
using: sudo gedit, opening a file, then saving it with a different name WORKS!
The new file has the owner and group set to root.
So the applications can be used by root, but not a user (even though this Ubuntu
has been released for just one user and that user has Admin permissions).
