I've done
rpm -Va | grep missing | sort
and reinstalled every package that was missing a file, so the RPM database is
probably in good shape. I don't know which rpms came from third parties,
though -- how could I determine that?
The only gnome initialization I have is /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.gnome-vfs2, and
that seems to be necessary since it belongs to the gnome-vfs2 package and lots
of things (like gimp) depend on that package.
I wonder if /opt/gnome/gtk2 might have been copied rather than moved to /usr.
Another perhaps more likely possibility is that in my thrashing around I
reinstalled gnome-compat and that in turn restored /opt/gnome/gtk2. I
certainly did not do anything explicit to create it.
Unfortunately I don't have any backups of those earlier systems. I don't even
remember for sure which ones I ever had and which were installed as upgrades
rather than afresh.
I realize it's not practical to check for every bit of leftover cruft from
previous versions, but the number of contexts where such leftovers actually do
harm may be limited. In particular, /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.* could be checked
for items that don't belong to any package, and search paths could be checked
for obsolete or missing components.
