clobbered chimera, can't start from fresh install (help)

hello, I changed some of the preferences for the IDLE shell, which produced errors that would not allow IDLE to run (tried to remap a couple of keys). This problem persisted when restarting Chimera. so, I deleted that install (Mac OS X) and re-installed the most recent release, but still produced the errors, and cannot launch IDLE. I went ahead and deleted the files in ~/.chimera, but the errors still occur. Are there any other user-specific files that I can delete that might be causing the problem? I am assuming this is the case, because even a fresh install has the same problem. I submitted a bug report about the IDLE preferences issue I experienced, but am hoping a simple fix might allow me to launch IDLE again. thanks, -Jeff
