I don't believe personal config files are modified during
installs/upgrades, but often the *format* of said configuration files
can change. The gnome files in Slink and the gnome files in Potato are
separated by almost a years worth of development. It would not be
unheared of for the format of the configuration files to have changed
and Gnome to have been confused.
