New Gnome profile - How/
I would like to start a new gnome profile from the hidden user dir.

Do I just rename .gnome2

Thank you

Actually, no it didn't.
I'll work on it tomorrow. But thanks. I suspect a couple of folders.

The actual solution is rename the .gnome2 and the .gconf to _old
and that sorts it.
You can delete the _old folders when you are happy with things.
