Pecular reactions with Rawhide installation

[Jim Cornette]

Using an updated rawhide upgrade. I have noticed a few pecular items 
with the operation of the system.

The system seems to slow down to a snails pace at times and may be 
unresponsive. The processor seems to be overburdoned at times and allows 
my usual 45 degree temperature for the processor to escelate to higher 
than usual temperatures. Today, the temperature got to 80 C and the 
system shut itself off. I run acpi.

Selinux from the upgrade to FC3 to rawhide from Feb 13th mix left the 
logs stagnated and inaccessable for days past the installation. Using 
touch /.autorelabel got the logs working again. Later, experimenting to 
use the strict policy (vs. targeted) and relabeling the system would not 
allow me to start x from runlevel 3. I could launch X if setenforce 0 
was run before running the startx script.

selinux-policy-targeted-1.21.14-1
policycoreutils-1.21.18-1
checkpolicy-1.21.4-1
selinux-policy-strict-1.21.14-1


General preferences, I like the Apps, places and desktop divisions 
within the menu structure. It just might be good to not add/remove and 
juggle the menu structures around as frequently. Hopefully the 
reorganizing settles down to more subtle structure changes.

Also, there seems to be a problem with icon registration for certain 
apps within the menus. gnucash and KDE items do not show up on the menu. 
If you add the program to the panel launcher, it errors out as having no 
icon. If you check the properties, the icons are there. When the item 
was checked for a second time, there is no icon selected in the 
properties for the item.

The largest pecularity is a white flash when starting X from runlevel 3. 
The screen is completely white for an instant, then the loading of GNOME 
continues with its normal sequence.

Overall, GNOME seems to be slower than it was for FC3. KDE was very slow 
after launching mozilla. KDE seemed pretty stripped down from previous 
usage of the windows manager for short periods.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with current rawhide?
