It's an empty installation. No photos. No videos. Nothing. Clean 
install. ~/Pictures is empty.

I'm not worried about syncing over network; i.e. I'm not expecting it to 
be a problem. At the moment I'm struggling just trying to revert to a 
clean install of 0.11.2. I suspect there's some legacy configuration 
from a previous install that I've not been able to purge and I don't 
know where it is or how to purge it.
