Not guilty on this occasion, Mike.  I'm still not sure why, but after I 
launched from the CLI it seems to be fine.  Mind you, I'm still finding 
things that were very different in FC4.  I'm not sure why, but in FC4 I 
played my DVDs with /dev/hdc, but now I have to put them into /dev/hdd.  
Perhaps that's all that was wrong before, in fact it probably is.
