Thanks, Anne, that's what I did.
It's nice to have the desktop back on Fedora. Kubuntu is a decent
distro, but it tries too hard to isolate the user from what is
happening.

If you scatter files elsewhere (e.g., /tmp, /var/spool/mail, ...) you
may want to fire off something like:
find / -uid=700 -exec chown UserName {} \; -print
and
find / -gid=700 -exec chgrp UserGroup {} \; -print
Just to find all the files you didn't know were out there that also need
to have their UID and GID fixed. -R is great for blasting everything
but things like mail files are owned by the user but with mail as the
group and you only want to change the file that's owned by the specific
user.
Cheers,
Dave
