Seeing as the log file refers to a failure to open
'/home/simon/.local/share/recently-used.xbel' I looked that file up.
Using 'sudo nautilus' to open a file manager I found it and opened it:
it reads as below the line of asterisks.

I looked at its permissions and it states:  
Owner - Root - Read and write
Group - Root - none
Others - none
Allow executing file as program - not checked.
Security context - unknown

I then opened a normal "files" window and opened the file with gedit -
which struck me as odd because it has covered with locked icons - and it
now does not have locked icons, and reports its permissions as:

Owner - Me - Read and write
Group - Simon - none
Others - none
Allow executing file as program - not checked.
Security context - unknown

I am user 'Simon'.
