If you have a /home partition that does not get overwritten the
configuration files for your desktop should not get changed. I have
done this a couple times. Twice I did a restore from a tar file of my
home directory, and another time I did a reinstall with /home as a
separate partition. In all 3 cases the desktop stayed as I had it
customized.
