Thanks for the idea, but it didn't help. (Is it possible not to have the
IO slaves installed? I suppose it is, but what a lot of usefulness would
be lost thereby.)

It may be significant that I get a new tab in the existing Firefox

that?

Yes, thanks, I can do that. I just wanted to get my file
associations cleaned up.

Something seems screwed in your config. Try creating a new test user
and login with that one. See if it still happens there.

You're right. I did that and info:grub was displayed properly in
Konqueror. Now to find what's gone wrong.
