Yes, I've already gotten around to changing the ownership of all files 
and folders in my user folder to myself, and surprisingly enough, even 
the .gvfs folder is now set to me, but is empty. I'm just in the process 
of studying the readme's and other docs in the doc/gvfs folders to 
determine just where the folder belongs anyway.

I've also discovered the dates that I moved the folders, so now I can 
tell which ones I originally moved, and which ones I have moved back 
where I think they belong already. Over the past few days I've learned a 
lot about the file system in Ubuntu, which is a good thing. 8-)
