Yes, that's right. But as I had no idea how Liferea was installed, and as a simple 'remove' didn't seem to fix things, I invoked 'belt and braces'! Actually, it turned out there was an XML file in ~/.gconf/apps, which wasn't cleared by the 'remove', and seemed to be affecting the reinstall; and of course you have to manually delete the .liferea_1.6 folder in /home. In the end, I finished up doing a 'find' to get rid of the various bits lying about - not the first time that removing a simple little app from Linux has turned into a frustrating paperchase! Anyway, it's fixed now, and working properly, without my having to manually transfer all the settings. So I'm grateful, as always, for the generous help of folk on this list. mac -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
