o! great Linux gurus!

the idiot-leader needs assistance ... again.  ;)

...so I decided I didn't like the group name assigned to my personal login
on this machine my friend gave me; the user name and group name were the
same (apparantly that's standard under (later) RHL).  I changed the group
name; I don't believe that I changed anything else, just the name of the
group.

Well, when I logged in again, all of the environment settings and personal
preferences have disappeared.  Desktop image gone, toolbar gone, bookmarks
in Mozilla gone, etc, etc.

How do I fix that?  (as in, without having to manually reset everything) 
Can I fix that?  (as in, suck it up, Alan, you're a Linux idiot and you'll
have to redo it all by hand)(as in, Matusiak's right and Linux is a pain
in the arse) ;)

...time to invest in a RHL manual.  My newbie-ness in trying to navigate
this stuff is tempting me to take this machine to Uzi's grill tomorrow...

thanks,
Alan
