Desktop problem

[Thomas Cameron]

I have a shell script I use to "reset" my default desktop environment. 
It keeps my important stuff like my ~/.ssh directory, mail directories 
and so on.  To use it, I log out of GNOME, run it, and log back in.

[tcameron at case ~]$ cat ~/bin/cleardots
#!/bin/bash
ls -ad .* | egrep -v 
"bash|elluminate|evolution|gnupg|mozilla|pan2|procmail|purple|rpmmacros|sig|ssh|skype|thunderbird|vpngui"|xargs 
rm -rf

Hope this makes sense to you.  It resets my desktop back to defaults 
while keeping my important dot files.
