Just applied today's updates... and rebooted and ive seeing so odd behavior in the gnome desktop
1) gnome put me into a "failsafe" gnome desktop according to post login screen dialogs.. not sure what that means other than my startup programs didnt run. Never seem this failure mode before so I'm not really sure how to diagnose.
2) xchat will not start for me unless i run it under strace. run xchat from the terminal.. window pops up and disappears and i get a segfault message after a number of glib warnings
run strace xchat from the terminal and it magically works. is this a weird race condition?
3) network manager segfaults on desktop login and using the preferences dialog i can no longer get the icon to appear in the notification area
anyone else seeing similar issues?

hello,

where
can i set i manually?
Thanks, Roger
I believe it is in /etc/sysconfig/desktop
It's solved by an error i think from the update. The path in /etc/gdm/Xsession was pointing false to /etc/xinit/Xsession. I corrected to /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession - now also Gnome is working again.

Is that symlink issue been filed in bugzilla?

Correcting that symlink made the gnome startup and the network manager applet segfault dialog go away. Silly symlink
I blew away my custom xchat configs in my home directory and that works now too.
