FC6T3 + updates: system_configure-display and system_configure-soundcard crash or cant start from text mode

[ron flory]

hi-

  After a fresh install system-configure-[display,soundcard] started
and interacted with the user (but didn't really work, but thats
another bug report) when launched from text mode.

  After applying the 100+ or so updates both progs fail to start or
segfault when launched from text mode.

  Neither (especially the display setup) should require X to be running
prior to launch.

  Running an Acer Aspire 5601AWLMi laptop.

  manually running 'startx' from text mode brings X up fine.
