My F16 - Gnome box has developed an ugly bug today with the latest
updates (from updates-testing).

Randomly, but very frequently, when I close a window, the windowing
system hangs. I can move the mouse, and ctrl-alt-bksp works to kill X
and restart GDM. Nothing interesting in the X log file. All other window
actions like minimize and maximize work fine.

I'd like to report a bug, but I'm not sure where to point the finger.
Can someone suggest a method of identifying the buggy program so I can
report it?
Too many packages from updates-testing? Or would it be feasible to
"yum history undo…" the latest updates and then reapply them in smaller
groups to narrow it down?
Alternatively, "yum distro-sync --disablerepo=updates-testing" can be
helpful to revert, especially if you believe you cannot reproduce the
problem prior to installing test-updates.

HI,

Just to mention, I don't download from the updates-testing repo, so how
will this help?
The original poster, John, mentioned "updates-testing". I replied to his
thread and don't know your particular scenario.

But even if not installing any test updates, you can rollback/uninstall
updates and try to narrow down which one is the culprit. "yum history"
can be helpful.

I backed out all the updates and re-installed them one at a time ( thanks Michael ), testing after each one. Of course, now I can't reproduce the problem. Is it possible that I picked up a fixed version of GTK3? Oh well, I'm working again, so I should be happy.

Thanks!

John
