If the problem is a setting in some rcfile, and you untar your rcfiles back
into the new account, then that won't solve your problem.

I'd suggest renaming the old home directory to, say, /home/nick.old, and
creating a new home directory, then copying back rcfiles as you need them --
this is all assuming that your problem is a configuration problem in the
rcfiles.
