rpm -Uvh --force gdm-2.8.0.4-12.x86_64.rpm cleared things up. *shrug*

This was probably since I redid my xorg.conf, and it had us instead of fi
keyboard mapping afterwards. system-config-keyboard, select fi, and
everything was happy again.

So, only https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5068 left as a real
bug, everything else was just package upgrade hiccups. And since all bugs
have been filed, I can just happily go to sleep. Good night y'all!
