When I upgraded, I installed onto a clean disk. I then transferred all the
/home directories from the old installation to the new, so as to keep all the
settings for kmail, flightgear u.v.a.
I looked through the directory $HOME/.local/share/applications and found a
whole load of obsolete desktop files. I removed the files referring to
OpenOffice.org and retried. This time, the system complained that it could not
find Xine! I then removed the entire contents of that directory, and now the
Dolphin file manger opens as required.
Thank you for your help.
