Log out, and then log in to a text-only console rather than graphically. Now you can work on them without fighting against Gnome. e.g. rename the parent directories, and then log in again, as a brute force method. Though, you'll lose other configurations if you move them all (such as Evolution passwords and setup). You might want to log out, move a few things back, then log in again, until you sort out which bits you want to lose and keep. To see what a new user's look like, you can create a new user, log in as them (graphically), and look through their home folder. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
