Hmmm...that looks like a relatively full complement. This kind of looks like you didn't do "rm -rf ~", but something else--in my experience rm goes in alphabetical order.
Hmm..."Too many open files" is a new one on me. Looks like you might need to rebuld evolution to get the missing PNGs.------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "can't find settings daemon" error may be unrelated to anything--I get those errors myself.
Actually, what might be the best option for you is to run
ls -a ~
which will list all of your hidden files/directories, and then rename them, e.g
mv .gimprc old.gimprc
or something similar. What's supposed to go on is that your applications are supposed to create the hidden files/folders thay need for you automatically if they're absent--don't worry about doing any rebuilding or reinstallation of the packages since Fink doesn't put anything in your home directory.
You may have a partial set of such files/folders, which would result in an application not realizing that it needs to create something.
(the above doesn't apply in some cases, like .xinitrc, where you have to create the file yourself)

Thank you Alexander,
I've lost alot of preferences for apps that do start and I can use Icewm to access xterm and, oddly, konsole. Gnumeric starts and Evolution trys with the error below. I am currently trying to rebuild gnucash as a test. I checked "ls -a ~" previously but of course didn't understand what I was really looking for so I'll try renaming one and seeing what happens. I've included a list of that directory's . files. Also, fonts in X.org are screwed up with only some italic option showing up. Perhaps I should rebuild freetype?
Thanks again. You've always been quite remarkable.
Brian
