command> erases all GNOME user preferences, returning the user
11990N/Ato the default look and feel. This can be used to undo undesired preference
11990N/Asettings, or to correct the desktop if the preferences become corrupt. The
11990N/AGNOME preference files are automatically recreated the next time the user
11990N/Alogs into a GNOME session. By default this program erases the configuration
11990N/Afiles for the user running the command. However, a different user can be
11990N/Aspecified on the command line. Of course, configuration files are only
11990N/Aerased if the user running &cmd; has appropriate file permissions to erase

command> will display a listing of all preference files that it
11990N/Awill erase before erasing any files, and prompts the user to confirm that they
11990N/Awould like to erase these files. Files are erase only after receiving a
11990N/Apositive confirmation from the user.

10139N/AUsers should run this program when logged into another session, for example,
11990N/Athe Failsafe session. If the user tries to run this program while already
11990N/Alogged into GNOME, an error message is displayed.
