One way of quickly regenerating everything for your Gnome would be to
login as root, and then delete all the .gnome* directories from your
user account, logout of root, then login as yourself again - this would
completely regenerate all the Gnome2 stuff - directories, menu entries
and the likes. (Or you can just rename them and the same will happen -
that is, if you've stored data that you're needing to get back).
