yourgnome is a small easy to use script that lets you backup and restore your Gnome settings quickly. Note that it does not backup the actual installed software, rather the Gnome settings that took so painstakingly long to tweak.
Used in conjunction with the software list backup script found elsewhere on my blog, you can quickly restore a new install to the way you previously had it.
Some of the items that yourgnome backsup are as follows;
All your themes, backgrounds you use settings, gnome-panel settings, bluetooth-manager settings, evolution settings, file-roller settings, gnome-screensaver settings, gnome-session settings, gnome-terminal settings, gnome-volume-control settings, metacity & compiz settings, update-manager & notifier settings, totem settings, network configuration set by Gnome, screenlets and much more!
It processes all the settings then creates a tar.gz package that you can tuck safely away until you need it for yourgnome to restore the settings.
You can check out and download yourgnome from the developers page found here;

Again, I must thank Rok for telling me about this great script.
Enjoy!
