I'm surprised that this is a wishlist item but I have found the location of the problem and the fix. For some reason when you continue to use the .local folder from 8.04 it makes the problem happen for 8.10, so if you remove the .local folder completely and then restart, intrepid creates its own .local folder and the problem completely disappears
