Note to self: I had a problem with the GUI on my Kubuntu VM not working under VirtualBox on a Kubutnu host. I fixed the problem by changing the Graphics Controller on the VM from VBoxSVGA to VMSVGA. I have no idea what the difference is, except that the latter works and the former doesn’t!

On Debian GNU/Linux 9.1 (stretch) when I try to open an *.desktop (application/x-desktop) link in a browser I get:
A folder named ~/.cache/kioexec/krun/13821_0/ already exists.
Searching for:
A folder named kioexec krun already exists
turned up diddly squat.
I solved the issue (for me) by changing:
System Settings -> Personalization -> Applications -> Default Application s-> Web Browser
from:
Open http and https URLs in an application based on the contents of the URL
to:
Open http and https URLs in the following browser: firefox
