I have posted by experience with updating from 9.04 to 9.10. The resulting UI is just about unusable.
I am reinstalling 9.04 from scratch. This is just nor working.
I discovered that System->Preferences->Startup Applications had a large number of applications checked. I have removed 'Blue Tooth, and Evaluation Alarm' and unchecked most of the rest except Network Manager, PolicyKit Authentication, Print Queue Applet, Update Notifier, and Volume Control.The GNOME Settings Daemon and GNOME Settings Daemon Helper seemed to have helped as now the icons are drawn properly and the UI is behaving better.
Without these two GNOME unchecks, the icons did not show up correctly and the UI was just about unusable as the UI was sticky and unresponsive:
1. Click on icon does not cancel and mouse drags the icon image around.
2. Highlighint while typeing is 'sticky'
3. Scrollbar is 'sticky' and scrolls the page while mouse is move in the page area.
4. Click on close takes many tries.
etc.
