Hum... before doing such massive change with file perms, I would make a 
full copy of your current user's home directory, just in case.

Let's see...

sm01@stt008:~$ find $HOME ! -group 1000 -print | wc -l
39

sm01@stt008:~$ find $HOME ! -user 1000 -print | wc -l
7

I have 39 files that do not belong to my user's group and 7 that are not 
owned by it... but all of the files are created by me, I mean, they're 
not system files.
