Hi, guys,
I have this problem since I installed fc6 from scratch (downloaded/burned).
Applying 2.617-1.2401 didn't improve the situation => in fact, I simply can't 
work with GNOME
Windows always in the left corner, overlaying each other, desktop functions 
not replying, start of window manager after login takes MINUTES,.....
I switched to kde/xfce,... and all is working fine.
Best match (description) => 
"show desktop finction is not working since window manager is not running".
Is there a correction yet (now at 2.6.17.1.2437)
