It's likely to be down to your graphics hardware - Gnome 3.2 requires 
more hardware acceleration than traditional desktop environments. What 
graphics hardware does the machine have? You can see this by running

Rich,

Thanks for your help !!!  This is a new machine that came with Windows
7.  I wasted the Windows 7 OS when I installed F16.

Here are the results :

00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9648 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
