Clearly the problem had to be my particular debian setup.
My first port of call was to change the window manager I have been
using, from xfce running on openbox to xfwm4.
This completely removed the problem, and all is now working as it
should, although I am at a loss in terms of knowing why openbox should
be a problem---it has until very recently been my desktop of choice.
(Obviously, some modification in the openbox version I use.)
That's pretty strange... If you ever find out why openbox does not like
this dialog, there may be something we have to fix on our side.
I have, apparently, been wasting your time, but all I can say is thank
you---without confirmation that the file worked, I would not have found
what was causing my problem.
Don't worry, it is important for us to understand those problems. We've
had several instances where weeks of head scratching lead to discover an
actual bug in our code.
