I have a shell script I use to "reset" my default desktop environment. It keeps my important stuff like my ~/.ssh directory, mail directories and so on. To use it, I log out of GNOME, run it, and log back in. [tcameron@case ~]$ cat ~/bin/cleardots #!/bin/bash ls -ad .* | egrep -v "bash|elluminate|evolution|gnupg|mozilla|pan2|procmail|purple|rpmmacros|sig|ssh|skype|thunderbird|vpngui"|xargs rm -rf Hope this makes sense to you. It resets my desktop back to defaults while keeping my important dot files.
