  following directories were created somewhere along the lines of
installing and using (very briefly) gnome:

  /.gnome
  /.gnome/accels
  /.gnome_private

  there are no further directories/files under these.

  I installed potato and later on changed it to to testing and even
later on changed it to unstable. this all happened few days before
3/10/2001 (when I posted original message), so these are not oldproblem
(unlike /.kde which was on old computer and is already fixed)

  there are also .gnome and /.gnome_private directoreis under /root, so
the ones under / are not root's (I guess)
