The User Interface Group of Wolfram Research has helped me solve the 
problem. The problem seems to come from a bad style definition in 
$UserBaseDirectory. I don't remember I made any changes to the stylesheet 
anyway, but when I renamed the whole directory and let Mathematica created a 
new one, the error disappeared.

Thank you all for your kind attention on this matter. Your suggestions are 
much appreciated.
