breezy and account reset

[Olve Hansen]

I have recently (up)graded to breezy out of curiosity, but a bit premature 
it seems :-)

I am now unable to log in, as my gnome-settings-daemon apparently crashes to 
many times during log in - a message tells me. All my icons are vanished, 
and gnome-panels arent working at all. I have tried to delete/rename 
.gnome2, .gnome2_private, .metacity, .gconf, .gconfd, .ICEAuthority, 
.Xauthority, .nautilus. Generally all files I can think having anything to 
to with gnome settings. Still, things like my desktop background and 
gnome-applets are still started. 

How can I reset my account (and session) to a pristine fresh session?

I tried adding a new user, and this user logs in without any problems. My 
old user with settings from hoary thus prevents me from logging in. But I 
don't want to set up a completely new account either, as there are so many 
settings I wish to keep. And there really should be an easy (at least 
easier) way of doing this. I have tried login in with different sessions, 
the only one successful is gnome-failsafe-terminal.

Anyone? 

Thanks..
