gphoto2 turns out to work fine, thanks very much! I wonder why Digikam doesn't 
work, then?

This may turn out to be the easiest thing in the long run: certainly my wife 
and kids aren't going to want to learn a CLI for getting at their snaps. I 
guess it's either a) buy a cardreader, b) get Digikam to work or c) something 
else I don't know about yet.

Thanks for both your help,
