Richelieu, I took what you had talked about and went through for myself. Indeed it fixed everything. I also tried to figure out the problem (what might have caused it). I left my toon logged in when the server went down, the same thing I had done before and... voila! The same problem occurred. Something seems to be getting corrupt when you don't make a clean log out or exit from the game.

Anyway, here are the steps I go through to re-install the mods that I use.

First, I move the exiting FetishNightfall directory to the desktop.
Next, I log into the game, then back out... as you had done.
Then, I install the UI and all the mods:
01. Extract FetishNightfall_8_8.zip to the UI directory.
02. Copy the contents GoldiFetish to the FetishNightfall directory (I like the information that Goldi's Startbutton gives).
03. Extrace SageUI_Journal_2.0.zip to the FetishNightfall directory.
04. Extract Othesus_browser_GU35.zip to the FetishNightdall directory.
05. Extract Milquetowst_Map_Graphics_for_EQ2MAP.zip to the FetishNightdall directory.
06. Extract Milquetowst_Info_Center_070425.zip to the FetishNightdall directory.
07. Extract Othesus_active_quest_helper_GU36.zip to the FetishNightdall directory.
08. Extract Othesus_examine_window_GU36.1.zip to the FetishNightdall directory.
09. Extract eq2map_POIFinder_1.20_071507.zip to the FetishNightdall directory.
10. Copy the original images directory to the FetishNightdall directory.
11. Copy the original eq2map directory to the FetishNightdall directory.
12. Copy the original eq2ui_mainhud.xml file to the FetishNightdall directory.

After I have done all of this (which is suprisingly quick). I log in using EQ2.exe directly once (just as you suggested) then log out, then log back in running EQ2Map first. Everything works swimmingly well.

For those who want a peak at what my screen looks like when I'm done, I've included the character ini file that I have. Just rename the file from server_character_eq2_uisettings.txt to match your character (such as unrest_chomsky_eq2_uisettings.ini).
