The clue to me is that the timeline of the problem starts with all the
screwing around with the libssl file thats been going on in wheezy for
the last 10 days or so. Perhaps not, but the fingers are all being
pointed that way. I removed all the extra flash/gnash crap, and
re-installed iceweasel which helped, for about 10-12 hours. Then libssl
was updated again, and things have generally gone to hell since, getting
worse with each subsequent update to libssl. There have now been 3
updates ISTR.
And I have a problem with konqueror I'll take to the TDE list.

Yes, but if its a link displayed in kmail for instance, I have to do the
copy/paste to make konqueror work, otherwise konqueror is passed a link
to /var/tmp/something or other and much is lost in the translation.
