Well, all that fiddling got rid of the file browser, but
banshee is
still starting on login. Also, sudo killall gdm just brings up
a screen
of pretty colours that can only be got rid of by holding down
the power
button.

So, you're saying that if you stop gdm (which should start a new X
session), your machine locks up entirely?
Or is it just slow to respond (I have a 512 machine that isn't exactly
to my liking in the response department)

Yeah, but since I got through this far without it, I can manage from now
on. I'm happy just restarting. I'd rather focus on the original problem.
