Name        : gnome-session
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 3.3.92
Release     : 2.fc17
URL         : http://www.gnome.org
Summary     : GNOME session manager
Description :
gnome-session manages a GNOME desktop or GDM login session. It starts up
the other core GNOME components and handles logout and saving the session.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update works around a bug which causes extensive display corruption when running GNOME Shell on NVIDIA NV30 series adapters using the default Fedora 'nouveau' driver, by blacklisting these adapters so the GNOME fallback mode is used for them instead. It does not fix the underlying bug which causes the display corruption (hence it is not marked as fixing the bug in question, which is #745202). It should not preclude Shell from running if another driver capable of rendering the Shell is used on the same cards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.  Use 
su -c 'yum update gnome-session' at the command line.
