Comment 20 for bug 753930

If nothing loaded, it may have been caused by your user not having proper
permissions on the new home directory. If you created it using root, this
may be the case. I'd suggest you try it again:

log out of gnome
switch to console
mv /home/<username> /home/<username>.old
mkdir /home/<username>/
cp -pr /etc/skel /home/<username>/
chown -R <username>:<username> /home/<username>
now log back in to gnome using gdm

Sorry for not being able to provide the exact config directory that is
causing the issue.

Regards,
Balint
