OK, so my laptop tried to update in FC2, and ran out of space in the middle of updating OO and its gtk/x dependencies. I discovered the problem, cleared some space ugently, and completed the update. However, something was (not terribly surprisingly) done wrong and the process left the gdk libraries munged. Consequently, I cannot start X. Also, I don't know for certain WHICH library is bollixed up. I would prefer not to have to do a full reinstall of the laptop, although of course I can and may end up doing so. I would LIKE to trick yum into re-updating all the rpms in the X subsystem all at once, even though their revision numbers do not increment. Any suggestions on how I might do that? rgb -- Robert G.
