I'll note that you didn't choose the default Fedora disc, looks like you
chose the Fedora-KDE spin instead. Kaboodle might have been a bad
decision, but the KDE spin of Fedora hasn't been around for that long,
so filing bugs like this is appreciated.
If you're looking for something closer to FC6, I suggest the default
install which IIRC has both GNOME and KDE packages.
