After the upgrade to Gnome 2.30, various of my systems had a variety of "odd" issues. The most serious was the inability of gnome-screensaver to get a password and unlock. Two of my systems had this problem. Other issues included gnome-power-manager failing to exit on logout, the menu editor (alacarte) changes taking not instantiating until the panel is restarted and several other slightly misbehaving things. I removed .gnome2, .local, and .config. This fixed many problems, but not all. To fix the screensaver issue, I had to delete an old .xmodmap, of all things. I just stumbled across this. Is there anyplace to look for a list of files that save Gnome configuration? At least those used by standard apps? I hate to have to configure from scratch, but I'm much happier now that I have done so, at least for the stuff I could find. (I'd just love to know how .xmodmap broke the screensaver.) -- R.
