Well, I must revise my comment partially. The user folder has remained
intact, just the data partition was formatted. I was mislead by
following observations:

- The other users' (test users) folders were accessible as user from Natty live 
session.
- My user's folder was partially accessible as user from Natty live session: 
files that were directly in the user folder were accessible while subfolders 
were not.
- My user's folder was not accessible at all as user from an old Jaunty CD's 
live session.
- As root my user's folder were accessible from both CDs' live sessions.

While there might be a reason for the other users' folders to be
accessible as user (though I don't remember doing anything particular
with the permissions), it is very strange that the same folder was
partially accessible from Natty but wasn't from Jaunty...

Unfortunately I've not saved any logs and I'm not really keen to try an
install once more since I'm really really happy that my term paper that
I have to deliver in some days has survived the last install. :)
