Leo, thank you... in a way =)

This indeed fixed the problem, so thank you for that.

However, the commands you gave do not move the directories to a backup... They RENAME each directory to the same name, which means it gets erased. Which means, for instance, I've lost all my Chromium extensions (fortunately I had enabled the Synch option, so my bookmarks are safe) and saved passwords. Of course, I've also lost all my configuration files for Compiz, for instance, but that might have been necessary anyway.

So, please, could you fix your suggestion before other people lose their data?

Thank you for your help anyway, apart from this quirk, I can now boot without having to hack my way through to a normal desktop.
