Hmmmm....removing this socket file has allowed me to successfully run
pcmanfm again.
I note there are similar socket files for other users, who can run it.
I can only assume there was something wrong with this particular file.
I also note that, after removing it, and successfully running pcmanfm,
I would expect a new socket, but there is none.
Nonetheless, I have successfully started and closed pcmanfm several
times, still without seeing a new socket appear.
For all practical purposes, it seems this is resolved at the moment.
I can't help but think there's a deeper, underlying issue somewhere
that might again rear its head.
But for now, it seems I can use pcmanfm again.
Thanks!
tony
