Weird.

I'd suspect a setting somewhere in a hidden file or directory of your
home directory. Try setting up a new test user and seeing if logging in
as that user works. If it does, I'd try moving the .gconf* and .gnome*
directories (if you're in GNOME) or .kde directory (if you use KDE).

That might be best done while you aren't logged in under your usual
account.

Hope this helps,

James.
