I believe it's a problem with a file that is part of the standard upgrade process and occurs after the kernel is updated first time. I gave up on Fedora 12 and reinstalled Fedora 13, manually yum installed files as they were requested for each application I installed, rebooted and tried each app. There were no indicative or helpful reports in the error logs. The Fedora 13 iso reported python errors on installation but since updating and upgrading a bit at a time the problem seems to have gone, It reported python script errors but after updating python last thing, that seems to have gone away. With F13 but there is a printing problem with some printers but otherwise it's fine, it runs Scribus, Blender, gimp and other apps More testing as time permits.
