I did, but the results were inconclusive.

The results of diff are hard to read and understand. Finally, I just did diff
--brief and figured I would look at the files in Gedit or something myself
manually. Even that didn't help. And sometimes diff lied. For example, it said
two small text files were different, but when I opened them in Gedit and
compared them line by line they were identical, at least as to content.

And I did chown -R everything to the respective users.

I also have a .local folder in the home folder of my old Jaunty installation. I
have it on the old Jaunty hard disk and on another hard disk as a backup. I
looked at it with an eye to just copying it over. But it is very, very
different.

I have some time this afternoon. I'm going to start by googling on the .local
folder and see what turns up.
