Solved!!  I don't have to tell you what it was, do I?

Oh well...in case it helps someone else.

I did yet another uninstall, then, for the hell of it, ran KMM, and it 
ran, with the usual problems.  Ah ha, I'd installed into /opt
yesterday, for elimination purposes.  Uninstalled that one and ran KMM 
again, and still it ran, with the problems.  That left my
/home/bin, where I'm currently developing with the new UI, and which 
hasn't yet had the investment side attended to - that is,
the UI has been changed, but not the code, which, of course, I knew all 
about so never ran investments there.  What I didn't
realise was that, when I swapped to /usr/bin, my /home/bin still took 
precedence even when I was actually in /usr/bin,
which wasn't a problem until I went to production mode and attended to a 
backlog of investment imports.  In /usr/bin, running
'kmymoney' defaulted to /home/bin.

What a waste of time, and sorry to all concerned.  At least, I learned a 
few more little bits.
