Yesterday I did a normal yum upgrade and it pulled in a few packages (listed below).

Yes! And I run Gnome. Do you use a KVM switch??
In fact, I'm seeing it for at least the third time. With a difference.
In my case, this time as before, it has something to do with my USB KVM switch. There have been several bugs reported to Redhat Bugzilla.
I haven't reported yet, because I'm still testing what worked last time and the time before: shut all machines down; pull one out from behind the switch, connect it to the peripherals directly, and put it through its paces, at length; repeat with each machine (I'm on the second of three); then put them all back behind the switch. Tedious and tiresome, but it has worked here twice, and seems to be working again.
If you *don't* have a KVM switch, I'm afraid I have no clue.
