GNOME theme Where is ...? How to ...?
 

Maverick:

What file(s) to restore, to get back a lost custom GNOME theme?

I need to restore the settings for my Maverick's "Appearance
Preferences". When I saved the "Custom" theme, something went wrong, now
the theme is lost. I do have a backup of the complete OS. I need to know
which files I have to restore. This happened when I was comparing
something with the settings for Natty.

Natty:

How can I switch the windows minimize, unmaximize and close buttons from
the right to the left side?

-- Ralffor UI issues like that, i usually suggest making a different user account, logging in, and checking the settings. if all is well as the new user, then its safe to assume its a config issue with the current user. you can start renaming and/or moving .gnome directories, and seeing which is causing the issue, and decide if you want to start from scratch, or try repairing whatever it is you have changed that is *causing the issue.*

In this case it's possible to restore the user's home directory
completely. This would take less time then trial and error. I only will
lose 2 days of Firefox history etc., if I won't omit some configurations
and one picture also would get lost. The picture is the only file I need
to copy, before I overwrite this home directory completely. This seems
to be the less time-robbing solution. I hoped hat there is just one
configuration.
