Ah, got it. I'll leave the machine in it's exisiting state for further testing. It's not a primary machine (right now) so it's not a problem for me to continue troubleshooting if it can help. BTW: no issues with my nvidia-96 drivers w/regard to compiz et al. But a user on the users list mentioned that he "fix'ed" his issue: <quote> I had exactly the same problem on a desktop pc after an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. For some unknown reason, the screen resolution has been modified during the upgrade process to an unsupported value. I changed the screen resolution according the monitor's specs and the "login loop" problem disappeared. </quote> Not sure if that is related to this particular bug, but thought it worth mentioning.
