The symptoms described above started happening for me after reinstalling Ubuntu. I created a new user account (using a different username than my previous one) and copied my home folder from my old machine. I ran the following to try to sync the ownership and permissions, but I suspect I missed something:

$ cd /home/userOld
$ sudo cp -r * userNew/
$ sudo chown -R userNew userNew/
$ sudo chown -R userNew userNew/.[a-zA-Z1-9_]*
$ sudo chgrp -R userNew userNew/
$ sudo chgrp -R userNew userNew/.[a-zA-Z1-9_]*
