I have also messed up or destroyed startup files playing with my
system.  I have found a neat "hack" to reinitialize these files. 
1) Add a new user and start the program(s) in question as that user in
their home directory.-- 
2) Find and copy these startup files into your home directory.
3) As stated above, change all ownerships a groups accordingly,
actually permissions won't need to change.
