I installed Fedora 19 recently but wasn't paying attention when setting up
the username

name as a user name.
So I used the system utility to change is to my preferred username.
Problem is my home directory is still named my old username and at lightdm
logon I have
to type in my new username and password ( which is the same). The logon
screen doesn't offer
me my new name, but still offers the old name. Anyway to fix ???
Thanks
I do it the lazy way.
1) backup the user directory
2) delete the user using userdel -r
3) create the acct you want using useradd -m
4) add whatever stuff you want from the backup to the new directory, use
chmod and chgrp as appropriate
