While it has been a month or two since I installed Fedora 11, this is
the first time since then that I have tried to run isomaster.  I do
not know if this problem started when I upgraded (with a clean
install) of Fedora 11 or if it started later with an update via
yum/yumex.

The program locks up or freezes during startup.  The window for
isomaster appears but never populates itself with the program.  I have
not found any error messages.  If I click on the "close app" button in
the upper right-hand corner, an error dialog box pops up after about a
minute stating that the program is unresponsive and I am able to force
kill the program from there.

Isomaster version 1.3.4-3.fc11 is installed on my system.  I tried
uninstalling it using yum and then installing it again without any
change in the start up problem.  Running the program from a command
line does not yield any error messages.

Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone have any
suggestions?
    

I just tried isomaster-1.3.4-3.fc11.x86_64 and it worked ok (freshly
installed). 

What happens if you delete or rename your .isomaster config file?

Thanks! 

The problem went away when I effectively deleted my old .isomaster file by renaming it.  It contained references

When I installed Fedora 11, I did a little rearranging of my file system.  In Fedora 10, I used /opt/tmp for isomaster and that directory does not exist anymore.  When isomaster recreated its configuration file, it used /tmp.

It appears that isomaster is sensitive to directory paths disappearing on it.  There was no error message anywhere that I could find.
