after update, suddenly gnome-screenshot won't start

[Robert P. J. Day]

  did a massive "yum update" on my 64-bit ASUS laptop earlier today
and, suddenly, gnome-screenshot won't come up. if i now go to
"Activities" and left click ... nothing.

  if i run "gnome-screenshot" from the command line, i get a sudden
burst of white on the display, then nothing.

  at least one other graphical app (qoppa's studio pro PDF editor) is
also behaving weirdly. anyone else finding strange things happening in
their gnome desktop session?
