I don't get that, I get:
Fedora release 14 (Laughlin)
and I still have a gnome2 desktop (perhaps upgrade is supposed to leave
that alone though?).

It lists 3 fc 14 kernels and an fc 14 kernel-headers

I don't want to try any hacks to fix an upgrade process that doesn't
appear to have run. I have two more machines to upgrade as well.
Anyway, it sounds like this is a different problem to the one you had, perhaps.
