[ale] 'taskbar' / panel broke

[Jerry Z. Yu]

one more step:
	usermod -d /home/trouble1 trouble1

/home/root is not for user 'root' as in "uid=0(root)", right ?  If so, 
many people will recommend against login as 'root' so casullay. if so, 
you'd simply start/keep using 'good1' user.

#passwd trouble1 	(change pass for trouble1, otherwise it will carry good1's pass)
#mv /home/trouble1 /home/trouble1.broken ( in case you want to study it further)
#mv /home/good1 /home/trouble1

#yes .gnome will be created if none exists already.

##Jerry,

##I forced the reinstall of the gnome rpm packages.  I logged on as another

##Now, should I just copy the .gnome directory from that successful user to

##/home/root directory?   Would that work?  Or should I just delete the
##.gnome

##Thanks,
