Hi Mitch, you might try renaming ~/.config also.<br>
<br>
I'm running 12.04 LTS now, and dreading doing the 14.04 upgrade. I
just did the Hardware Enablement Stack upgrade, which went fairly
well, except trashing the proprietary AMD drivers on my system. Had
to remove and reinstall them and then all was well.<br>

<div>I'll spare you the details other than to say after much
hacking about with apt-* and dpkg I've managed to make it
boot, and can even get into a window manager by setting the
defaults to kdm and kde. The problem is that I don't like
KDE, and would much rather use some gnome based desktop, but
they all wedge on login. I can't find anything useful in
/var/log/Xorg.log or /var/log/syslog. </div>

<div>I've tried removing (well, moving to a different directory)
~/.gnome* and ~/.gtk*, but that didn't help.</div>

<div>Any other ideas out there?</div>
