So what is done in that process that is > not done during restart (the restart is directly to my wife's account)? Something must get cached. You previously said that deleting cache files temporarily fixed the issue, right? I believe you can find out which cache files are being deleted by examining the system log after deleting them. That may be a place to start. You could try manually (selectively) deleting certain ones or groups of them to see which one(s) are at fault. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
