FC1 moving home directory location stalls gnome login?

[w fm3]

Thanks for the pointer  Jonathan looks like alot of files under .gnome2 use 
a hard coded path to files.

The problem was with .gnome2/session but it seems to impact other 
applications like  gedit (.gnome2/gedit-medadata.xml) and the pannel

so before the move I am going to change make a script to change all 
instances of the hard coded location for each user.

Should really  be a way for gnome to set a value based on  /etc/passwd or 
whatever at session startup and use that.

Cheers

W

>/home/username must be hard-coded into a configuration file somewhere. You
