Downgrading of the above packages from "xenial-updates" to "xenial" has not solved the problem. Further analysis is for the "xenial-updates" versions.
At the beginning of the "unity session", "top" reveals a very high CPU (and disk) usage by "dconf-service". Apparently, it is used by "compiz-config-profile-setter unity". Today's trials ended with an "unexpected termination" of this program. Starting it "by hand" gives:
(process:6560): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: g_settings_set_value: value for key 'visual-bell-type' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences' is outside of valid range
Switched to profile 'unity' (for environment 'ubuntu')
