Description of problem:
I have a Fedora system that I have upgraded from roughly F10->F15 via every
single intermediary release.

After a resent update the system became almost unusable because of timeouts
happening everytime focus is changed. The error that loop look like this.


An IOException at scim_bridge_messenger_receive_message (): Connection reset by
peer
Failed to receive messages at scim_bridge_client_read_and_dispatch ()

This problem does not occur if I create a new user and log in as it so it is
localized to my main user.

I have used scim a long time ago, but it stopped working and doing it's magic a
long time ago as well.

How do I reset gnome, scim, the session, maybe abrt to default settings? In the
olden days (RedHat 7-8, not fedora) there used to be a dialog when you had
upgraded to remove old crusty settings, but that seems to be long gone.
