I had a CentOS 6 user whose password had expired, try to reset his password on a CentOS 7 machine. This appears to have jacked up his gnome profile when he went back to his CentOS 6 machine. KDE seems to work fine, but gnome is having all kinds of issues - i.e. very slow login time, missing menus and task bars, frozen mouse cursor.
Home drives are located on a network share, so he has the same issue even if he goes to another machine. Again, just with gnome, not with KDE.
We tried deleting .gconf .gnome2 .gnome .metacity and .gconfd in his home folder to force the system to recreate these folders/files, but that didn't seem to fix it.
Any suggestions?
User profile hosed after password changed
Re: User profile hosed after password changed
Rename .config maybe?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
