Thanks Neal and Charlie, I've tried:
 
 
# chown -Rv gean:gean /home/gean 
 
but the ownership stays the same root, maybe its important to say that the /home is an NTFS partition, mounted by /etc/fstab as:
 
 
/dev/sda3       /home           auto    defaults        0       0
 
 
this is the correct way to mount this? the problem can be here? All the home dirs in this machine have root ownerships.
