I had the same thing happen.  I thought it was upgrading to Fedora, but
maybe it was after trying KDE after upgrading to Fedore.  I too have tried
KDE a few times in the past, only to go back to GNOME.  KDE is a memory
hog and slow, and also gives strange errors.  Maybe there will be a fix
for all this soon.
