And glad I didn't! All it took was deleting the .mozilla directory
as there was something inside the Mozilla config that was causing that
particular explosion.
Similarly, many apps are a lot more stable after deleting all the user
.gnome* .gtk* and .sawfish directories. Xscreensaver still can't read
any jpg files, but blitspin /will/ now read it's default image, and
that's progress.

And I still believe this.
It seems part of my problems is not so much a Mandrake issue as an
issue of various software authors not caring about backward
compatibility in their config files, so perhaps a caveat to delete and
re-instate user accounts should go into the upgrade troubleshooting
guide. As a distro, Mandrake takes the brunt the heat, but in
reality, LM9.0 is about 95% "third-party" software ;)
