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.
