Merci, Giles :-)

It’s downloading now. I’ll report back as to how it works…

I’ve done nothing differently this time compared to the last when the thumbnails decided to grace me with their presence. In addition to the thumbnails being absent, none of the kipi plug-ins are available now (they were, the last time that the thumbnails were visible). These are extremely frustrating experiences! What can be done to solve this?

Sometimes it works ok when started by clicking on the alias in Applications and sometimes it works ok when running it from a terminal/shell. I don't think it has anything to do with a problem with the databases, at least not one that requires completely rebuilding them.
