Choosing an approach to Fedora upgrades.

It works OK.
What has worked for me in the past on a system that has only 'stock'
(FC CoreX + FC CoreX extras + Livna.org stuff) is:
Do an anaconda upgrade from fedora core.foo to fedora core.bar
Make it start in runlevel 3 w/rhgb *off* to avoid X weirdness.
boot new system if you get a bunch of AVC errors (selinux) boot back
into rullevel 1, do fixfiles (relable, whatever).
Restart, if all is well do as root system-config-display (cmd may vary
depending on FC version).
Then- startx as user, all s/b well as far as GUI goes. 
Then go ahead and do whatever it is you do with the box, tweaking
wherever stuff breaks.
If all is well then config stuff to do your prefs on boot & drive on.
If not simply google your ass off(TM) and  fix whatever is broken.
