Have you tried a "Safe Boot?" (Holding down the Shift key on reboot). Doing
this gets you into a very slow and methodical scan of your files and booting
sequence. It takes quite awhile to get into the Finder but once you have, it
could be that the safeboot procedure will have spotted something and
corrected it. You can then reboot normally and see if the bugs have been
circumvented.
