OK, I forgave the idea to restore the old desktop ... I created a new 
one with the newer version of sabayon . It works fine as long as I 
removed the old desktop from the user's home . We've written a script 
that users can launch which removes: rm -rf ~/.kde ~/.gtkrc* 
~/.nautilus  ~/.sawfish ~/.kderc ~/Desktop  ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome* ~/.gtkrc 
~/.nautilus ~/.sawfish ~/.dmrc ~/.fonts.cache-1 ~/gnome-terminal.desktop 
/.ICEauthority ~/MailINT.desktop ~/.mcop* ~/.qt ~/.rhn-applet* ~/Xclien* 
. I hope it's not too destructive ... but it works fine apparently . 
After that the user gets it new environent from hte newer sabayon 
profile. But I was wondering how sabayon works. If the desktop 
folder/subfolders mentioned above a present, sabayon does nothing ? Do I 
really need to erase all these to get the new desktop ?
There's also a small problem, after erasing all these files/folders , 
when starting on the new desktop, I get a popup telling something like 
(french translation of me ...) " The keyboard X settings differs from 
the one from Gnome, which one would you choose (X/Gnome)". If I choose 
gnome I get a querty keyboard :-( , If I choose X I get a azerty 
keyboard :-) . does that popup appears because I erase to much files ? 
Are the new sabayon settings forcing a querty keyboard ? how can I 
change it to azerty ?

Thanks.
