        All I recall is that something went wrong when doing yum install
        thunar. I was shuffling files around and the file manager was
        the simplest way to do it. I had a set of dvd's and wanted to
        transfer them to my NFS server for convenience. I realized that
        for some reason it wasn't installed and decided to install
        thunar. Not even certain if I did it from yumex or the command
        line, it's all routine stuff I do with little thought. Anyway I
        had to remove and re-install and that must have triggered this
        episode.

        The problem was not apparent until a couple of days later when I
        switched on that computer.

        I can't deny it being self-inflicted and I don't think I implied
        it was a Fedora problem.

        All I can say is thanks for your time spent on this. I will make
        more notes, perhaps solve another screw up on my own with that
        information.

        Bob
