Thanks Tomas.
~ '/etc/gconf/schemas/firestarter.schemas' exists
~ and I've tried your suggestion of apt-removing and re- installing
Firestarter
.. with no change.
~ I'll just have to find the time and space to get my head
completely around iptables.
Cheers,

|You can not use this at the same time as Firestarter. To mark an
|interface as trusted in Firestarter, go the policy page and add a "Allow
|connections" rule for the network eth1 uses, for example
"192.168.0.1/24".

|The configuration file referenced above that must exist on your system
|is /etc/gconf/schemas/firestarter.schemas
|
|You can try "apt-get remove firestarter", followed "apt-get install
|firestarter" to recreate the default configuration.
