I think that in addition to those directories, you should also need to
remove the .gconf directory, as that's where most gnome desktop-related
settings are stored. That should do it.

Whilst not totally necessary, you might also want to run bonobo-slay to
get rid of any bonobo-activation-server processes that might be running.

Then there's the .metacity directory, but only if you seem to have
problems with metacity (like I did once, where I could only bring a
window to the front by clicking on window borders)
