Because if you pulled your head out of your ass and read what I said instead 
of telling me how much better KDE is which is my usual desktop anyway, you'd 
have seen IT WASN'T THE HOME DIRECTORY ONE. IT WAS SYSTEM WIDE... And I don't 
log in as root, so, obviously it's not a user account .gnome or .kde issue is 
it? No.

And you owe "I can't read and appear incompetent" to everyone on here. Shit I 
asked for help with Gnome, I didn't say give me your opinion on what desktop 
is better. People like you are the reason Windows is still winning you dolt.

No, it didn't, and I pointed that out in my second reply.

That's super. But it has nothing to do with it or GNOME WOULD WORK WHEN I 
LOGGED IN AS ROOT OR THE OTHER USER ACCOUNT I MADE FOR THIS STUFF WOULDN'T 
IT....

No wonder people don't switch, I've been using FreeBSD, Slackware and SUSE for 
4 years now and seen maybe 10% of the total questions not bring up what's 
better in desktops or distros.
