I still can't reproduce this, so I'm going to try two wild guesses to see if they help any:

1. If settings.json is somehow corrupt, Transmission may be using your home directory as a fallback value. Could you please run your ~/.config/transmission/settings.json file through a JSON parser (such as http://json.parser.online.fr/) to check for parse errors?

2. It's possible that there's some kind of bug and/or installation error in your copy of GTK+. What version of GTK+ are you using? Is it the standard version for 10.04?

3. This requires a little bit of work, but it will help to eliminate GTK+ and upgrade errors from the list of suspects -- copy your ~/.config/transmission directory to a flash drive, then boot a live CD of the Lucid prerelease. Launch its copy of Transmission from a terminal with "transmission -g /media/your-flash-drive/transmission-config-dir --paused" ... this way you can test your settings on a "clean" install of Lucid.
