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.
