First of all, is the fedora-desktop still only about Gnome? I seem to remember it used to be. Anyways, I've finally filed this bug after enduring it for several releases now. I'm positing here in case anyone else has been having this problem and just been waiting for some else to file it. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490082 -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com )
