Two things still broken on FC16 for me

One is a little silly, the other is a pain.
The easy one:
Why does GRUB2 still echo back an older version of the kernel, the menu
it puts up has the right number, but after selecting it it says booting
<blah> and blah is a very old kernel number (by very old I mean three
weeks ago). Now I can see in /etc/grub2.cfg why this is happening but
shouldn't something update this. Is it grubby? I don't know.
>From grub2.cfg:
menuentry 'Fedora (3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.0.fc16.x86_64)' --class fedora
--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root
a349d16c-b589-43c2-ab23-036628614bbe
echo 'Loading Fedora (3.1.0-0.rc5.git0.0.fc16.x86_64)'
linux /vmlinuz-3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.0.fc16.x86_64
root=/dev/mapper/vg_thinmint-LogVol00 ro rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us
rd.luks.uuid=luks-18f31b2e-662c-4138-88a2-253f71a238a0 quiet
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb rd.lvm.lv=vg_thinmint/LogVol01

echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /initramfs-3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.0.fc16.x86_64.img
The other is GDM login is still broken for me about 70% of the time.
When selecting my name and entering my password, I hit enter and nothing
happens. If I choose "Not Listed?" and manually enter my info it works.
I remember a thread about this a couple of weeks ago but saw no
conclusion. Like I said it works about 30% of the time, no idea why it
works some but not others. Any suggestions? Have these all been seen before?
