OK.  I can get digikam to import from the card with a reader thingy.  It
took me a while, some hair pulling, a few threats of using a hammer but
I got it to name them like I want.  So, in the meantime I can get my
pics.  Thing is, to get to my card, I have to about disassemble the
camera.  I have to remove the mount for the tri-pod, the bottom and the
battery to get it out.  Well, it gives me a good excuse to charge the
battery.  Thing lasts for months on a charge tho.  That battery is
really long lasting. 

I still want to get gtkam fixed tho.  It's much faster and simpler for
me.  Digikam has lots of bells and whistles I don't need.

P. S.  For everyone else, never a crash or problem reading the card in
the card reader thingy using the exact same cable.  Worked like a
charm.  It seems USB just does not like cameras.
