Yes.

It hasn't.  I agree the issue is in a messed up file somewhere, but how
would I find it ?  One thing I notice is that I have a folder on my
desktop for my home directory. Its named "~" if that makes any
difference.  The thing I notice about it is that its misplaced every
time I start a new session.  I always move it to its proper location on
the desktop and yet every time I start a new session, its in the wrong
place.

hmmm, yeah, I was running Java. 

But there doesn't seem to be anything running now. 

$ ps aux | grep vm
xxx     6542  0.0  0.0   3880   676 pts/1    S+   11:04   0:00 grep vm
$ ps aux | grep VM
xxx     6544  0.0  0.0   3880   676 pts/1    S+   11:04   0:00 grep VM
$ ps aux | grep java
xxx     6546  0.0  0.0   3884   680 pts/1    S+   11:05   0:00 grep java

Any other ideas ?
