I am using the latest Gnome Desktop with ULB. I have both a .gnome and
.gnome2 in my /home/user directory.

I logged out of the username and logged into Gnome as root, opened a
terminal and typed

1. cd /home/user
2. mv .gnome gnome

Then I logged into gnome as the user and nothing had changed. I then
repeated the above proceedure only this time using mv .gnome2 gnome2 and
yes, a few of the shortcuts I had created were gone but the blank window
when saving issue is still there.

What should I try now?
