   Well I had already undone the last few transactions...which erased a lot of
packages and apparently downgraded others.

But I figured at this stage...why not ? So I ran your YUM command..the first
time it segfaulted ??? But the second time it installed a few new packages and
downgraded a bunch others....

But I still have this problem :

[frank at localhost ~]$ gthumb

** (gthumb:2439): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not
receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a
reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout
expired, or the network connection was broken.

(gthumb:2439): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gthumb' received an X Window System
error. This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'GLXBadContext'.
  (Details: serial 143 error_code 167 request_code 152 minor_code 6)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
[frank at localhost ~]$ 

Gthumb depends on so much it's hard to figure out what is/was going wrong.

  Well....we'll see :)
