Qt might be touching a few files of its own, but since IIRC MATE is a GNOME based desktop I dont see how that could cause it either.

I appreciate everyone's responses.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't still angry about what happened, but in fairness, I in fact don't know that it was calibre
per se, by itself, that caused problems.
Calibre apparently was the trigger perhaps for some latent, hidden pre-existing instability in my system.
If anything, calibre -- I'm guessing it's a one-man operation -- needs everyone's support. Maintaining a widely used program is an enormous task. I've generally heard good things about it and, yes, I'll re-visit the idea of re-installing at some later date.
Meanwhile I haven't been able to do any further troubleshooting, I'll report back with any relevant results.
