Re: [eug-lug]clearing out old gnomes

I would add a user with another name and then log in using that users name. Gnome will make a bunch of configuration files for each application you run. It will make a hidden .gx for most of the things you run. So if you run galeon it will make the .galeon file. The reason for making a
