Well, if you're new to this then perhaps you've not yet chosen a
favorite desktop/window mangler. If you have no particular affinity
to Gnome (the default under RH) then I would very much encourage
you to take a look at KDE.
I was using Gnome/Enlightenment for a while, but recently switched. The reasons
I switched were:
o KDE runs much, much faster
o its performance doesn't degrade if I leave myself logged in for
days at a time (with Gnome/Enlightenment I'd periodically have
to log out and log back in again to regain some semblance
of performance: switching desktops would take several seconds
otherwise.)
o KDE's apps seem less prone to leaving core files kicking around
Gnome/Enlightenment offer better eye candy, IMO. But I'll trade that away
for the better performance and robustness of KDE any day.
As to your specific problem, a couple of questions:
The error message says something about "/home/root". Did you change
root's home directory? root's home is usually /root rather than hanging
off of /home. If that's the case you must have copied or moved all
of root's files over. It's possible that you might have missed
the .enlightenment directory... (i.e. it's complaining that some
component in the path is missing, not that the files it's trying to delete
are already gone.)
