How about making a little script? Gnome related configuration files (Gnome 2.30) can usually be found here: .gnome2/ .gnome2_private/ .gconf/ .gconfd/ maybe also .config/ So you can either make a script that removes these directories and puts the backup in place, or, even more fancy, have a look at vcsh, which lets you manage those directories as git repositories. To get an older version, you then have to simply check out the corresponding commit. Best regards, Claudius -- BOFH excuse #399: We are a 100% Microsoft Shop.
