<sheepish> Newbie question-of-the-day:
I'm using FC4 with GDM (pretty sure) for graphical login and I have lost
all my desktop tweaks for all KDE, Gnome, IceWM and Xfce by accidentally
choosing 'reset desktop' at the session login screen. Groan. How do I
restore my customised settings?
I know that all my settings are there, but they appear gone when logging
in. For example, evolution treats me like a new user, whereas I can
see in my /home that the two accounts I had setup and received mail on
are still there. Ditto firefox and all its newly installed extensions -
all gone (well, just not available after login anymore).
I know it's one of those fundamental things one should know, but I've
never been in this spot before, so .... Help!!
A supplementary question to the above is where do I look to edit the
login session menu that GDM offers?
In my GDM menu I have always seen repeats of session options (eg., more
than one option of choosing IceWM) and I want to remove that dreaded
'reset desktop' option altogether. Begone, I say! ;-)
Thanks people,
Gavin
