It seems that this problem never happens to new user accounts created after upgrading to Lucid.
It is thus related a bad handling of Karmic home directories.
We can run more tests to confirm this.
From what I remember, removing .gnome* and .gconf* were not helping either.
However, removing all the hidden folders (except some obvious ones like firefox etc) fixed it... so it must be somewhere in between.
Maybe .compiz ? Maybe .config/gnome-session ?
I agree Augustin. I fear that this particular annoying bug will be ignored until Karmic dies, and then it will no longer be a bug...
