You can see I've actually run the command line twice, but the weirdo is,
as you can see from the system prompt I'm logged in as "anthony". So why
oh why is plasma looking in my wife's home directory for config info !!!
How does it even KNOW about my wife's account?
I presume if I fix this, everything else will sort itself out, but this
is just weird.

It's a guess, your 'Frequently Used' Plasma Places/Directories may contain a
previous instance of you accessing /home/gina/.directory to store some scanned
documents.
Click on the K-menu, at the bottom select 'Places', at the left menu list
you'll see 'History' and 'Frequently Used'. If you right click on the right
menu list of places/directories, you get an option to forget all or forget the
selected directory.
Alternative you could grep for "gina" in your ~/.local/share/recently-
used.xbel
anthony@thewolery ~/.local/share $ cat recently-used.xbel | grep gina
<bookmark href="file:///home/gina/Scans/HP-M477"
added="2024-09-29T14:25:45.995000Z"
modified="2024-09-29T14:25:45.995000Z"
visited="2024-09-29T14:25:45.995000Z">
anthony@thewolery ~/.local/share $
So there is a reference to file in my wife's home directory, but nested
a good way down. Not in her root ...
And why would it be messing around with the .directory file anyway?
