I finally broke down and replaced F16 with F17 on my laptop with a clean

proving that it was a software issue not a kernel issue. The bad news is
that after installing yumex I can't get it to run. It asks me to
authenticate, but always fails, claiming the password's wrong. I know that
I haven't forgotten the root password because it's the same one I used to
install yumex.
Isn't it asking you for YOUR password and not root's?
Did you select for you to be in the administartors group? If so you can
now do a lot of things previously restricted to root; one of them is
install software. But everytime you have to authenticate YOURSELF.
I kind of like this move.
