I wasn't able to reproduce the bug on Ubuntu 13.04. However, I had to use 'sudo usermod -m -d /home/user2 -l user2 user1' instead of the GUI, since Ubuntu 13.04 no longer includes a GUI for changing the username.

After I installed my system, I realised that I set the username to "laptop" and called my machine "tom". This annoyed me greatly, so I changed it using gnome-control-center. Later, I realised that when trying to open folders like "Pictures" and "Videos" by searching in the Unity dash, I would get an error similar to "Could not find /home/laptop/Pictures". I expected the Unity dash to open my Pictures folder. To fix this, I edited the file "/home/tom/.gtk-bookmarks" so it reads: file:///home/tom/Documents file:///home/tom/Music file:///home/tom/Pictures file:///home/tom/Videos file:///home/tom/Downloads instead of: file:///home/laptop/Documents file:///home/laptop/Music file:///home/laptop/Pictures file:///home/laptop/Videos file:///home/laptop/Downloads Obviously, this should've been done by gnome-control-center. After 3-4 years of using Linux it took me a while to work out how to fix this, and an average user definitely would not know what to do in this situation.
