[ale] 'taskbar' / panel broke

[Jerry Z. Yu]

	Assume that you don't have anything for either user, why don't 
delete this problematic user 'trouble1', then rename the new user 'good1' 
to be 'trouble1'.

userdel trouble1
usermod -l trouble1 good1
passwd trouble1 	(change pass for trouble1, otherwise it will carry good1's pass)
mv /home/trouble1 /home/trouble1.broken ( in case you want to study it further)
mv /home/good1 /home/trouble1

yes .gnome will be created if none exists already.
