Configuring for a user with Gnome

[Owen Dorsey <owld earthlink net>]

Howdy,
	I installed and configured RH 7.2 with Gnome sucessfully, but I did it
all as "root", figuring I wouldn't have to mess with permissions while I
did it, and I would set up another user for "everyday use" after
everything was running smoothly. Well, as you may have guessed, I didn't
realize that some of the configuration is particular to the user
account. In fact, there is really no reason to have a "root account"
configuration, is there? I mean, I can just "su" in a terminal window
when I need to work as root, with all the setup of appearance, internet
dial-up account, preferances, adjustments, etc., for the non-root user,
only. Or am I missing something?
	Oh, well. Is there any way to migrate any of my root account
configuration to my everyday user account? Do I really have to
re-configure everything all over again?
							Thanks!
