only thing I can think of is that you logged in on the wrong account. Can you see any of your old files through Finder?

Some say that renaming the home folder to the name it was before the change will correct or at least partially correct the problems.

For future reference, this is how Apple suggests to change the user account name. It is always best though to keep the name the way it was to avoid any type of problems down the road.

You can also try Kilted's suggestion to see if it works for you.

Locate the User's folder on your hard disk and open it.
Select the home folder with the original short user name and the home icon. This folder usually contains a Desktop folder and a Library folder. Add "_new" to the end of the name so that you can distinguish it later.
Select the regular folder that has the name you used when you changed your original home folder. This folder should contain items you would expect to find in your original home folder, such as your Pictures folder, Documents folder, and so on. Change the name of this folder back to the original short user name.
Log out, then log in again and verify that items are back where they belong.
