I have an F11 PC that looks like that.
It's behind a KVM switch with three other PCs, two running F11,
and one still running F10. All the others look normal, and this one used
to.
I've been trying for a couple days to get "yum install system-
config-display" to go to completion. Once it got as far as starting to
download, but then hung again.
File retrieval optons:
1) Use browser --
http://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/linux/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/Pa...
or another of the Fedora mirrors. Public list is at
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/11/.
2) Use wget -- "wget -c
http://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/linux/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/Pa...
Install using "sudo rpm -ivh system-config-display*.rpm"
3) Download and install directly using one command:
"sudo rpm -ivh
http://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/linux/releases/11/Everything/i386/os/Pa...
Another note: Don't just settle for a random mirror. Try out the
mirrors listed in the Fedora Public list. Find one that reliably
connects. Put your selection in fedora.repo and fedora-update.repo in
/etc/yum.repos.d/ (disable the mirrorslist, enable and insert the
mirror's url to the baseurl line) or create your own
reliable-mirror.repo file..
Why am I not getting that app? Is there some other way to fix
the
washed-out look? It's so bad that most text is very hard to read.
Check the color depth. You should be able to do this using
System->Preferences->Display in Gnome.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
