I copied the username/.config directory to another folder and nuked
it.  Then I see the pristine settings.  They are almost the same with
the exception of the clock moved to the side like it had been before
but was moved.  The fonts are the same :(, tiny.  If I change the size
it is not noticed.  The bottom panel has no icons except for two
folders on both ends and the application finder.  I guess I will have
to change that behavior manually.

I will see where I can adjust the sizes of the fonts since they don't
appear to be in a folder.

Thanks for helping out.

Regards,


Antonio
