Root is reserved for special operations. The trend today in *nix is to disable root account, and do everything from a normal user via sudo. If you want to wipe your gnome settings under root, I would create a new random user, log in once, log out, copy the entire directory (.dotted files, mostly) over to root's home (as root), and then chown everything to root's user and group. Making a backup of root's home before you do anything is always advisable, though perhaps not strictly necessary in this case. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
