Thank you for your very helpful and informative response, Ken.
As you can see from my cross posting, I have now worked most of it out.
The upshot is that my firewall is and has been operating fine and it
starts from ip-up. I have now got rid of the irritation of the error
message on boot..
Well, of course, Firestarter is not the firewall, iptables is. I do not
see how to check whether iptables is running - maybe it runs all the
time as much of it is in the kernel and running Firestarter merely

Thanks Ken. In fact I knew about the item on the Firestarter site. My
problems were with it that it did not give any indication as to how I

use KDE the workaround would not apply.
I have been doing a bit more digging an
