[ubuntu-za] Desktop settings issues in 13.04

[Robin Bownes]

Yes, I had wondered about any possible complications of moving my home 
folders to another user account, and its probably what I'll have to do. 
Is there anything in particular, other than the standard safe-guards and 
precautions - backups & the like - that I should watch out for?

In terms of resetting the compiz settings - yes, they were reset while 
logged into the GUI, using the instructions for 13.04 as listed here:
