The problem was caused by an old (created under Ubuntu 12.04) DCONF configuration (attached). Apparently, there is code to reset such outdated configuration. In my case, however, "/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/unity/compiz-config-profile- setter" (usually) crashed (sometimes a SIGSEGV; sometimes the ina

Downgrading of the above packages from "xenial-updates" to "xenial" has not solved the problem. Further analysis is for the "xenial-updates" versions. At the beginning of the "unity session", "top" reveals a very high CPU (and disk) usage by "dconf-service". Apparently, it is used by "compiz- conf
