Seeing that there seems to be a consensus building that I have an installation issue, the prudent course of action would be to back up my files - pictures, documents etc. and reload with a clean Fedora 9 package.
Would you concur?

I've upgraded to Fedora 9 and about the only thing that seems to run with any consistancy are the KDE applications. Third party programs, such as OpenOffice, will not run. FireFox runs sporatically in Gnome but not at all in KDE. Forget about Gnome applications - Evolution for example.
I have been using Evolution as my mail client/calendar/contact list and more for some time. It interfaces with OpenOffice by allowing it to generate labels using the contacts from Evolution.
Has Fedora abondoned support for Gnome? How about OpenOffice?
Or, is there something I am missing?
create a new user and try logging in as that user and see if gnome, openoffice, etc. work properly, which they should.
If so, the problem is with the files in your $HOME directory
If not, you have a problem with your installation
GNOME, OpenOffice should work fine on an updated Fedora 9 installation.

They not only should but they do. Something is wrong with you installation.
