If you create a new user and login as that user, is that desktop correct? – Charles Green May 08 '19 at 14:21

It's possible according to this article and the basic steps are as follows:
- Log out of your session.
- Press CTRL+ALT+F1 in unison.
- Log in to your account at the prompt.
Run the following command very very very very very carefully: –
mkdir gnome_backup; mv .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity gnome_backup/
or if that doesn’t work
rm .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity -rf
- Return to the login screen by pressing CTRL+ALT+F7.
There are a number of caveats though as you will be initially logging out of your account so heed the advice and print out the detailed instructions before proceeding with caution.
