Come on now, give me some type of credit.  The way I presented the 
question should have given you an idea that I'm quite comfortable with 
the command line.  Your avg noob would not know what commands  " cd ~ " 
or  "echo blahblah >> some_file" does .  To top it off I mentioned that 
I've checked my ~ directory to see if I have any .gnome files.  Does 
this not give you an idea that I used "ls -la | less" to scan my ~ 
directory?

Thank You
