To all:
Installed f12 without any problems.
Discovered that crtl-alt-backspace was disabled in f12 and how I
could edit my xorg.conf to restore that feature.
How did you discover this? Trying it in a gnome desktop? :)
Of course (smile)
Searched Fedora f12 web pages and they told me to install
system-config-display to create an xorg.conf that matched the default
that the opSys was using. Worked great and, to use the cliché,
"groovy"
Don't do that. See:

(with screenshots even! :)
There is no need at all to make an xorg.conf, and as you have seen it
can cause problems moving forward.

Kevin:
Many thanks for the link (gotta love when screen-shots are included!).
When I went hunting on the web, I got stuck on the system-config-display
thread which gives me an Xorg to put in DontZap info. I think I ended up
on an F11 thread instead of an F12 as a look afterword shows me that my
searches were Fedoraguide.info ... bad on my part for remembering prior
forum discusssions about DontZap and jumping to wrong conclusion.
I wish my Goggling had hit this article first and/or instead ... another
lesson learned by hitting thumb with hammer instead of hitting nail.
I am quite happy to not mess with Xorg, I remember it making my life
miserable on fc5 and I wasn't exactly looking forward to having to mess
with it again.
Once again, my thanks ... now I just have to reinstall to try it out,
Paul
