hoho, i do not wanna turn that into a rough slide.
i will specify that on you (all) can check it first.

lets say the new users name is Max.

1. creating the new user and password
2. rename (or delete) the users home directory which got created already
3. rename the old users home directory into Max
4. being in an others user Gnome i run the shell
5. i do command: sudo chown Max:Max /home/Max
6. finish

Please help on that
René
