Alternative step 4 if you're running x86_64:
yum shell
remove dbus.i386
update
run
I believe we're still tracking these gotchas on this wiki page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq
It'd be awesome if you could add something about handling dbus.
Another thing: To get PulseAudio working you'll probably need to do 'yum
groupinstall sound-and-video', followed by 'yum install
libflashsupport' (to make Flash work) and possibly some KDE stuff that I
can't think of right now.
