  Although it may not yet be appropriate 
to download and try and use the gnome version
from unstable is it necesaary to remove any 
or all of the directories below, which are 
currently present in my home directory 
(I assume they were created from earlier gnome 
downloads),

.gconf/
.gnome2/
.gconfd/
.gconf-csw/
.gnome-desktop/
.nautilus
.metacity
.gnome

before executing and trying to use  
gnome 2.14.3 from unstable? Or are they 
completely overwritten or not needed by this 
new gnome version?

Also my /var/tmp/ contains directory entries 
such as,

orbit-jboyd-46b65696/
gconfd-jboyd/
orbit-jboyd/

Should/Can all of them be safely deleted?

  Thanks for any advice you may be 
able to offer, Jonathan
