fc11 layout indicator disapeared after update

[Dj YB]

hello,
I hope someone seen this before
yesterday I updated about 200 packages and after reboot I noticed several 
things
the keyboard layout indicator is not present even that the settings in 
"regional & language"=>"Keyboard layout" are enable and show both.

another problem I suspect connected is when screensaver is running and I want 
to unlock the little window where I usually put my password in is simply gray 
square.

hope that was somewhat describing my problem.
if someone can guide me to a way to investigate and restore the keyboard 
layout appearing again I would be very happy.
Thanks,
YB.
