Get rid of old Gnome Desktop Settings?

Hey all,
I recently screwed up my gnome settings, I don’t know exactly how I did it –
but the only thing that will come up when I boot into a gnome session is the
background wall paper – no right clicking, no panels, no icons… alt-f2 doesn’t
do anything either… So I logged out and log in with either xfce or kde and
everything works there like it should… that was on gutsy…
Last night, I found a fix for the networking problem that my nvidia Ethernet
interface card has with Hardy, so I took the plunge and updated, but (I’m
assuming since I have /home on a separate partition) the same thing happens
when I log into hardy – all I get is the old background wallpaper I had in
gutsy and nothing else – my question is, is there a way to delete
the .gnome .gnome2 or anything else that will basically reset my gnome desktop
environment to factory in Hardy? I was thinkgin I could backup all my /home
and then just create a new user overwriting the /home partition and starting
fresh – but that’s about 200 gig of stuff and I am hoping there’s an easier
way.
Thank you for any and all help you can provide!
Tim
