Hello Everyone I just ran "yum update", logged out and logged back in. I was greeted with this: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/20090825-Fedora11-ScreenShot-001.jpg More specifically, some of the icons on my desktop had little red circles (with exclamation points in them) by them. At first I thought something (else) really weird happened and I had a whole bunch of broken symlinks. Then I clicked on one to see what happened. This is the result: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/20090825-Fedora11-ScreenShot-002.jpg If I click "Continue" the application starts just fine, and the circle with the exclamation point goes away "for that application." If for some reason, I decide to minimize the little prompt depicted in http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/20090825-Fedora11-ScreenShot-002.jpg the entire desktop gets dim (just like a window that does not have focus is set to do on our system) and the little dialog minimizes just fine. BUT, I have not been able to find a way to restore it after it has been minimized. For all intents and purposes, the desktop is locked up. I happen to have my desktop set to display a slide-show that changes pictures every 15 seconds. This continues to work properly. Pop-ups for newly received email work properly. But my ability to interact with my desktop and start new applications is completely and totally ended. The only way to get things back to normal is to do "Ctrl | Alt | Backspace" Just to clarify, I have never seen this behavior on our Fedora 11 system. It started IMMEDIATELY after the recent updates that pulled KDE 4.3 in (I run KDE, by the way...) I have discovered quite a few new things so far after logging back in after the recent updates. All of them that I have seen so far I really like. This one I don't care for :) I can see why it could be a good idea, but I don't like the fact that I am now forced to opt-out of this new (to me) feature instead of "opting-in" So my questions are as follows: 1. Where do I change the appropriate setting so that I can get things back to the way they were before the recent updates? 2. If a new RPM was pulled in with these updates that caused this new functionality, what is it's name? I will look for answers to these questions myself as well. Thank you for any help you can give me.
