It's likely to be down to your graphics hardware - Gnome 3.2 requires 
more hardware acceleration than traditional desktop environments. What

Rich,

Thanks for your help !!!  This is a new machine that came with Windows
7.  I wasted the Windows 7 OS when I installed F16.

Here are the results :

00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9648 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
