Another example of its brokenness is this: if you log out of the X session, you lose your (wireless) network connection.
Well, if you could help me fix the bugs in this patch: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-September/msg00284.h... so it can get merged, that would solve this problem. :-)
SELinux is another subject for a good rant. Example: I created /var/log/dovecot, chowned it to dovecot user and configured it to put its logs there. Bang! SELinux denial. There's no easy way to fix it permanently either and SELinux tools documentation is akin to arcane knowledge. Unless you're familiar with all the terminology, you won't understand it.
I also consider SELinux to be a useless PITA and I turn it off on all my machines (completely, not just permissive).
PulseAudio is another mess. Three Fedora releases down the road and it still doesn't work right. It's another of the things I turn off and uninstall after installing a new Fedora box.
PulseAudio works for me.
