Ok. I purged pgadmin, located any remaining files and directories
containing the string pgadmin, and reinstalled pgadmin.

I added a server, opened a database, and opened the query tool. This
opened a modal window that says, "Failed to read favourites file!".

So, I opened Options, navigated to Query Tool/Favourites, which has the
entry: "/home/marc/.pgadminfavourites"

Sure enough, this files doesn't exist. So, I did:
$ touch /home/marc/.pgadminfavourites
$ chmod 664 /home/marc/.pgadminfavourites

Then I restarted pgadmin.

Following the same steps as above, the same modal window with the same
message appears: "Failed to read favourites file!".

Clearly, the file now exists. Indeed, Options/Query Tool/Favourites has
it selected.

In addition, in ~/.pgadmin3, this line appears:

FavouritesFile=/home/marc/.pgadminfavourites

Here are the pgadmin config files thus far:

$ ls -la .pgadmin*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 marc marc 5485 Jun 19 10:27 .pgadmin3
-rw-rw-r-- 1 marc marc 0 Jun 19 10:26 .pgadminfavourites
-rw-rw-r-- 1 marc marc 117 Jun 19 10:14 .pgadmin_histoqueries

Any ideas? Thanks.
