    restore default settings in Xubuntu 10.04

    Hi Members,

    I was using Xubuntu 9.04 and recently installed 10.04. I have separate / - 20 GB, swap - 1GB and /home - 80GB partitions. I had formatted only the / partition and installed 10.04. I have copied users information from 9.04 to 10.04. I can log into newly installed 10.04 system. But the desktop menus and appearance is that of 9.04. I would like to change it to default 10.04 desktop menus and appearances. I have used command rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity and re logged into my system. But still the desktop menus and appearance didn't change. How can I restore 10.04 xubuntu default desktop menus and appearance settings?

    Thanks

    Try adding a new user or open terminal

    Code:
    mv ~/.config/xfce ~/.config/xfce.back
    hit enter

    Code:
    mv ~/.cache/xfce ~/.cache/xfce.back
    I don't run xfce (mostly a fluxbox and Icewm user). Your problem is that you saved your xfce 9.04 settings when you upgraded Ubuntu in /home which keeps Ubuntu 10.04 xfce settings from loading.

    No luck!

    I have even removed .config and .cache, thinking that it will restore the default settings. But this didn't restore the settings.
