I think what you're looking for might be
touch /.autorelabel <as root>
Then reboot.

The trouble you might have (along with other things maybe) is the config
files that are found in the ~/.kde directory (I don't use Gnome, but I
would expect similar problems). If you rename the directory (.kde ->
origkde) and let KDE recreate everything, you should be fine.
