F11: Yum, Thunderbird/Evolution, and other problems?

I am wondering if others are having these problems:

(1) Yum dependency conflict prevents yum updates: autotrust
     I had to yum remove this package, and complete my yum updates.
     Attempts to reinstall autotrust fails:

autotrust-0.3.1-1.fc11.i586 from updates has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: libunbound.so.0 is needed by package
autotrust-0.3.1-1.fc11.i586 (updates)
Error: Missing Dependency: libunbound.so.0 is needed by package
autotrust-0.3.1-1.fc11.i586 (updates)

     I am waiting for the release of: asterisk-mobile (still in test)

(2) Thunderbird-bin (v3b4) refuses to start application (whatever it is),
      but it comes up and connects to my many imap sites, locally to my
      F11 dovecot/sendmail, M$ Exchange, and remotely to gmail.

      I also disovered with F11: dovecot/sendmail which uses mbox,
      freezes up when there are a large number of message (10,000)
      being deleted (I tried 1000 as well), and then crashes Thunderbird
      completely, and restarting Thunderbird never deletes a single
      entry from mbox.  I suspect that when deleting such a large
      number of files, the process is not threaded and independent
      from the GUI, but I am only guessing.  Whatever it is, it does
      not work well with dovecot/sendmail but works fine for Exchange
      and gmail.

(3) I don't use Evolution, but because it was found in the messages
     logs and seems similar to thunderbird-bin launch problems, I also
     include it here, in the logs provided below.

(4) Every once in awhile, my system hangs completely and requires a
      system reset.  No logs are recorded during this lockup.

(5) Using an Intel Core Duo with Intel graphics 945 chipset and still not
      able to bootup w/ GUI startup, and still using kernel option:
nomodeset
