[Leaplist] Problems w/ users under CentOS 5.3 ....

[Bryan J. Smith]

Oh, this is simple.  Reality:  you switched to a Fedora-based system
from a SuSE-based system, and an older one at that.  Expect issues.

1.  You were running an older version of SuSE, with an older GNOME

Although you were using KDE, it's very likely the /etc/skel put in an
older GNOME profile that was unused, possible different.  Blow away
.gnome* and .gtk* (after backing them up) in one of your user's
directories.

2.  Fedora and SuSE based systems have different profile/bash settings

You have users with /etc/skel from a SuSE-based system, and now
you're running a Fedora-based system.  You will likely need to modify
user .[bash_]profile and/or .bashrc as appropriate.  I'd start with the
one from /etc/skel on the new CentOS release.
