A bit confused on the series of events...

1.  Booted Live media.
2.  Installed to disk using default file system layout(?)
3.  Booted the installed system
4.  Ran "dnf update"  
5.  Installed the additional packages needed to compile the VBox Guest Additions.
6.  Rebooted

And then.....the unusable DE as noted below?

So far, I've only done a "netinstall" of KDE B3.  And, there is also the choice of running the non-debug kernel.  I run that since it is faster.
