I threw in the towel and re-booted, so I won't get to experiment more with it.  
I'm using the yum.conf from artoo's site, so I'm fairly sure everything is up 
to date. It could be, however, that I had not rebooted since bug fix -- 
anymore I tend to reboot only when I upgrade the kernel (or when I get some 
zombie user, heh!).

The experience was instructive, at any rate: I learned a lot more about ps, w, 
who, finger than I previously knew!
