Some other things to try:

a) switch between users using the applet with no containers open;

b) switch between users using the applet with my containers open 
but none of the affected programs running;

c) if no crashes occur in a) and b) then start the programs which
I redirect to folders within encrypted containers one at a time
and try to see if switching using via the applet indicates if 
my problem is restricted when that program runs. 1st to try would 
be Pan, then Evolution, then Pidgin, and lastly Firefox (since I
suspect Firefox to be the culprit).

d) I am going to get a new desktop soon to replace my dead one
(admittedly with Hardy 8.04). I will see if this problem repeats
or does it seem to be restricted to either Gutsy and/or my laptop.

e) Come to think of it: I don't remember having to install Flash 
on this machine, when I simply copied the containers from my old 
(now murdered) machine to the new laptop, I simply started Firefox 
and went to Youtube, expecting that I would get the prompt to 
install Flash. Lo and behold Flash worked from the start! 

Perhaps I should remove the Flash plugin and then re-install it? 
Perhaps that could be the problem?

That will at least give you more information.

In the short term, I might have to look into using Opera if this
problem cannot be fixed.
