When I upgraded from FC5 to FC6, I just copied the home folder over from 
the old installations backup with no major problems. The transition from 
FC6 to F7 was not that smooth. All my gnome settings were totally 
borked. I had to delete the new home folder and recreate it from 
/etc/skel. I did manage to rescue my application settings by copying the 
individual .whatever folders to the new home, but I had to redo the 
desktop settings all over again.
