Joe, thanks for that "startxfce4", it completely changed what i was getting for the graphical display, now clearly in XFCE. So that is a big advance for me. I am still stuck on the reboot forcing me to go to console and "startxfce4". The boot process looks really barren, with a single blue-white bar with "fedora 16" in blue at far right, at the bottom of a black screen. Possibly this problem caused by cruft from the preupgrade, run from f14, which itself is a preupgrade from f12. Or, I did something weird during the preupgrade.
