@Leo Yes, correct. My apologies, I misspoke. What I should have wrote is: What we can be relatively certain of now is that, at a minimum, something within the $HOME/.config folder is implicated as the source of the problem, and at a maximum the source does not extend beyond $HOME.
I can say that I don't think that, at least in my case, it's limited to just .config and .compiz -- not long ago (albeit Karmic, not yet Lucid), I move .config, .compiz elsewhere, and also remove .cached, .gconfd, and a few other reasonable candidate cache / session type files/folders from console session (tty1) and then logged in again via gdm (tty7). No joy, still the same problems. Again, just FYI, in case it helps. I expect that, in my and more complicated cases, the solution may simply be to create a new, empty homedir, reconfigure all GUI components again manually, and then repopulate homedir with data and carefully repopulate other dotfiles and dotdirs (i.e., one at a time or in small groups) so as not to re-introduce the "entanglement". Just not something that I have time to do right now and I am holding out hope that, once it's determined what the problem is within .config and/or .compiz, the information from that discovery might help me hunt down what's going on in my homedir. Right now, for me, the problem seems to be too much of a complex and complicated interaction.
