Thanks for the suggestion, Rosen.

For the record this problem went away after I rebooted the machine. No
idea what was going wrong. I had already tried logging out and back in
without success.

I don't remember ignoring a reboot after installing Ubuntu updates,
but something like that must have been the problem.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. Sorry to waste everyone's time
and bandwidth...
