Thanks for explaining it. I knew that changing the UID:GID to 1000 would have 
been sufficient, but I was not sure whether that would cause a need for 
further adjustments or not. And, since Fedora is my 'working' system, I 
really didn't want to dig any deep pits there. It is good to know that it is 
really that easy. Perhaps I will give some other distros a more serious try 
once in a while (but I do like Fedora, and have been with this distro for 
11-12 years now, so I am not really into relearning all the /etc file 
locations, repos, installation stuff, etc.).
