It can be a pain but usually that option is what provides the better results in the end (less conflicts and headaches), and it's safer because you can still copy/paste the old files without worrying on having overwrote or damaged them. > there is .gnome2 or .gnome3, .gconf, or .gconfd. Which should be deleted It used to be "~/.gnome", "~/.gnome2", "~/.gconf", "~/.gconfd" and also "~/.metacity" but *NEVER* remove these folders as they can contain user's data or e-mails... is better to rename them (e.g., appending "-old") instead.
