## Get all the files on the system owned by <olduser>
## I know it's probably just homedir, but you never know.

find / -user <olduser> -exec chown <newuser>:<newgroup> {} \;

## Then just drop a symlink onto the desktop for the old homedir.

ln -s /home/<olduser> /home/<newuser>/Desktop/OldHome

## or something along those lines?

## Normally I do my chuser's and simply keep the homedir intact.  Maybe
rename (mv) if I'm feeling picky.
