I'm not that much of a "guinea pig" as I first professed to be :) ... just got all my systems up to LTS release of Hardy. Don't really want to load a new version of the OS to test for this.
If I get time (which looks none too likely right now), I can load a VM image of Jaunty and try. But as I said before, I have no idea what I did to start this. It just refused to allow new images one day. I suspect some incompatibility of a file format somewhere, maybe .gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml itself (written to by something newer or older than what is now trying to read/modify it). Maybe I installed a desktop "fix" ... just not sure. I will make some more detailed comparisons between the login which is still working and the one which isn't. Maybe if I can reproduce it by manhandling a certain file, that will trim down the suspect list a bit. But if it was a bug introduced by changing a file format between sub- releases ... well, it matters less and less as time goes by.
