Remove Gnome with its settings? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm using Gnome as DE and was really happy with it until my last update. I would like to re-install Gnome, but want to remove before that all Gnome stuff, settings and dependencies. This is no problem for the packages installed via pacman and also it's dependencies. But I fear that I don't know how to remove all relevant settings. Is there some special folder or set of files to remove, before I can start from scratch?

Worked fine so far. I have just renamed .config and .local directory's for later use and reinstalled Gnome. So far this seems to work. In my tests today, I could shutdown/reboot succesfully with every try. Hopefully this is a permanent fix. Since I have all the old files, maybe I find the time to check them for errors. But I fear I didn't have so much time. Anyway, many thx for your tips which helped to fix the issue for me.
