I had a problem with my old user profile when migrating from kde 3.5 to kde 4 so I've created and new user, copied the relevant (non config files) and did a kinda twisted change by using
usermod -l dagg daggold


then
usermod -l daggnew dagg


changing the dir name and then using
usermod -d dagg dagg


since then boinc won't log into the gui
any hints on how to fix this?

solved!, forgot to change the ownership of the content of /var/lib/boinc to the new user.
boinc haven't calculated my signature yet, but it is on the WU schedule.
