I ran a backup (yes, experience ...) and emerged stuff ... so far it runs OK. There are changes and new features and I am still exploring stuff. The general question: is it a bug or a feature? ;-) for example Alt-leftclick doesn't allow me to move windows right now. bug? - What I'd like to discuss: how to start over for a given user? For example, I want to get rid of old stuff from gnome-1.x/2.x or so (I think of my ~-directory, not the overall system). Or even bigger, does it make sense to drop stuff from all those dot-directories in ~ from time to time (e.g. at bigger GUI-upgrades) and only keep some important ones? For example I would keep core stuff like .gnupg .ssh .bashrc .thunderbird (in my case) ... but I am sure there is loads of stuff to get rid of. Maybe most of it doesn't make a difference (hdd-space is cheap anyways) and isn't even read anymore by recent versions of software. But maybe some files/dirs should get dumped and forgotten. Do you gentoo-users have any opinions on this? Does it make any sense to re-create my main user(-dir)? Stefan
