   This under-linux-educated user is leaning heavily towards the problem   
   being elsewhere as I cannot run a script as user which I used to run as   
   user and my SeaMonkey Internet Suite profile files are also showing up   
   as, effectively, "Read Only" (i.e., grey-out in Konqueror/Dolphin)   
   although the properties/permission indicate I own them!!
