"The impossible can be done in a day but miracles will take a bit longer."

Re-installing a program is often one way of overcoming a problem but in 
this case if Impress is working for a new user then it may not be the 
answer.

Any differences in permissions, group membership?

One of the nice things about using mc (Midnight Commander) is that it 
has the facility to do a directory-directory or file-file compare and 
highlight differences.

If a visual comparison of the folders created for the 'new user' against 
those for the 'old user' doesn't readily show up any difference(s) then 
perhaps the use of mc would?

(Just another comment. Even though you mention that the way impress is 
launched is "not important right now", what actually happens if the 
command as I described it is used (ie, with %U)?)
