Firefox, Yumex, among others are not opening (kind of makes it hard to Google for help); running from the icon, I just get a long initial display of the icon in the panel, then it vanishes and the program never opens; running from the command line, I get this output (in part): ************************************************* yumex The program 'yumex.pyc' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'. ************************************************* I googled this from a different machine and found a lot of references to xfs being deprecated, and turning it off; I tried turning it off with chkconfig and restarting X, but no joy
Does anyone know what I might try next?
