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.
