Command line:  userdel
GUI tool:  system-config-users

You could try making the directory, changing its ownership to
djmons:djmons, then seeing if KDE or Gnome creates the files it needs
when you log in.

But it's probably easier to login as someone else, remove the broken
user, delete the homespace, and create that user again.

Haven't seen that, but have seen something similar when I decided to see
what would happen if I created a user outside of /home.  I entered a
different path into the gadget in system-config-users, one that did have
all the right SELinux contexts set up (for user homespaces), in advance.
