Actually, even on Karmic, this problem disappears if I reinstall Karmic. I believe I had explained that phenomenon.
And on other, later releases of Ubuntu, the problem does not seem to occur. In any case, even on Karmic, the problem began occurring after a hard reset. I have not used other releases long enough to have to do a hard reset, therefore my observations are inconclusive there.
