I got tired of Unity and added/switched to Xubuntu-desktop months ago (12.04 x64 fully patched). The system has been working fine until I decided to remove zeitgeist and all its libraries and such (more items than suggested, and whacked Unity in the process). As a bonus I now have the same symptoms Mark Dammer describes. I followed PsycoCats guide and switched to Pure Xubuntu. It did not correct the issue. I found this thread and I am adding my 2-cents and wondering like Mark where the package maintainers are? I'm trying to figure out how to apply the patch, maybe its on the forum that sent me here.
Great job tracking this down guys!
