OK so to recap, I'm using an old Nvidia driver because the latest one doesn't 
support the Xorg 1.11.1-1 ABI
I'm using an old glibc because the latest one seg faults glx apps(ie glxgears)

Nvidia 275.28
glibc-2.14.90-5 patched from 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742714)

and now I have updates.....
kdelibs-4.7.1-2.fc16.1
kdelibs-common-4.7.1-2.fc16.1
kdelibs-devel-4.7.1-2.fc16.1
qt-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-config-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-devel-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-mysql-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-x11-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16
qt-x11-4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16

which if I install causes kdeinit4 not to work.

the latest glibc in the repos is 2.14.90-10, I asume this doesn't include the 
patch from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737223, which if i 
install causes glx apps to segfault

so if I install the glibc -10 from 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737223 will that let me install 
the latest updates of kdelibs and qt and not segfault glx apps? then all I 
need to do is wait for nvidia to support the ABI from the latest Xorg??

sorry to be pain
Martin
