Martin: I know you folks are busy trying to get 10.04 out the door. So, unless you'd like me to troubleshoot further I plan to just do an inplace reinstall from today's daily. I'll reload all of my additional packages via Synaptic markings. Thanks for all the effort, but this one is just taking too much of everyone's time. It's obvious that the problem isn't in a user config as each user can login when the custom.conf file is modified accordingly. I'll hold off doing the inplace reinstall until you reply. Thanks again.
Added note: I did purge ubuntu-desktop & reinstalled - no difference.
