The cause of this bug was a failure of apt to pull in the dconf-gsettings-backend package tht had been split out of it until a couple days ago. Also, with these GNOME3 packages in place, the Unity/oneiric window erase bug reported elsewhere does not occur when Unity is being run. I have GNOME3 and unity site by side, both work great now.
