... and still nothing has changed on my desktop. My Gnome environment is still not reset to it's default, or initial, settings. Actually, one thing and one thing only has changed. At the top left of the screen, where there used to be a Red Hat red fedora icon, there is now a blue foot icon for Gnome. And just to the right of the "Applications" and "Actions" menus, there used to be two icons, one for Firefox and one for Thunderbird. Those two icons are now gone. And that's it. That's all tha changes by wiping out my .gnome and .gnome2 settings.
This is weird. How can it be so difficult to reset Gnome back to default theme, icons, and menu items?
----- Why do you believe you are not back to default?
Test it in an entirely new fashion...
Add a new user and log in as that user.
That clearly will be default settings - I would bet that there is no difference.
