I don't think 'yum update' will reinstall a removed package. How would it know to update something that is not there? You'd need to use rpm to reinstall (or the software installer GUI).
I rebooted (I hate rebooting a Linux box, it's such an admission of defeat :) nautilus seems to be working for me, but the CD burner is still failing. Started a KDE session and k3b did burn a CD, only it was garbage because a bunch of files were just missing! No errors, just missing files.
I made a new user and logged into a gnome session as that user and the nautilus CD burner just hangs.
I don't exactly know why I am hung up on the CD burner, except it failing was the first symptom I saw after the Feb 18 updates. It was working fine before that.

If they do, then the problems is easier to locate. If not, you could try to remove some of the programs with problems, and reinstall them.
What is the official way of re-installing a program in Fedora? In general "yum remove foo" will remove a large number of packages. Can one just remove the program with rpm and run "yum update"?
