The source of the problem does appear to be related to something in the user's home. I have 2 user accounts on my machine & the problem only manifests itself for *one* of the user sessions. Like many of the folks here, I originally upgraded from Karmic -> Lucid. I also later went to the trouble of installing Lucid fresh onto my / partition (& left my /home partition intact) yet I'm still having the problem.
Currently I'm using the '/usr/bin/compiz --replace' startup application as a workaround.
Thank you for your help with this & I hope you find my information useful.
