I had this same issue on my i7 box (no SSD though) in both Ubuntu 10.10 and Linux Mint 10. I was able to fix the issue by following the solution posted here <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/649809> post #68 which adds a short delay to the daemon loading on startup.

Basically it involves editing /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop and changing line 4 to:

Exec= bash -c "sleep 2; /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon"

Hope this helps.
