[sllug-members]: Gnome refuses to start after crash

[Steve]

I was going to suggest creating a new user and seeing if gnome works
for them, I had to do that recently and just moved all of my data
over.  Seems a recent update broke it for me, but I'm using Ubuntu, so
it may be a different issue for you.
Moving the config files is a capital idea too though :)

Sincerely,
Steve
