This email isn't going to be much assistance to you, but I had the
same exact problem. I even wrote about it on my blog
(http://apt-get.biffster.org), then switched to KDE for a while.

However, the problem sorted itself out after a dist-upgrade one day. I
never found out what changed (this is Ubuntu Breezy, btw), but one day
everything went back to normal.

I think I remember somewhere that korgac contributes to the problem,
so if you have Kontact installed, try updating to its newest version.
Other than that, I dunno.
