For what it's worth, you could fix the entire situation by installing
the i386 version; I switched to x86 in F18 and am having the same
issues as a Ed describes, and was going to pipe up, typing that I had
never had these problems before, that the Linux was a "rock",
forgetting about my i386=>x86 change-over, until suddenly remembering.

Hope this helps,
