Hi Mukundan,
Yup. They are missing. Red Hat got a bit "annoyed" at me
for reporting it to them first. Said to report it to you.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161780
During the process with Red Hat, I found that the KDM Live
CD was missing them too. And Red Hat pointed out that "Mate"
came with them.
The problem is exactly as described in this link:
