How do the colors look? Are there any visual blemishes in the desktop
background? I ask because I noticed this on a system that I upgraded
initially.
No, the display is fine. I tried setting things up with
system-config-display, but it made no difference. Everything is working,
it's just a slower than FC4 -- but, it seems, only with GTK/GNOME apps.
The slowdown doesn't happen with lyx-qt or nedit... that's why I suspect
that the use of Cairo is the culprit.

Just an idea since the Matrox and the Intel suffered a similar
problem
when FC4 was released. I might be off base with this suggestion.
I remember the X problem with FC4. I was stuck using the X packages from
FC3 for while. Thanks.
