[plug] new lappy, just move "home" ?

[Senectus .]

Looks like I _may_ be getting a new laptop (cause this new one is
utter crap), I'd like to transfer my home environment with minimal
fuss.. do you think it should just be a case of :
logout and login as root
kill X and GDM
Copy it over... ??
or is there something that I'm not thinking of that will cause a
godawful mess on the new machine?
