Alexander posted a link to where you can find a fix for this earlier,
but in short, it's:

Edit your X configuration file and change the line:

  Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"

$ rpm -q apr

I've gone FC1->FC2->FC3 on a number of machines and it wasn't too bad.
But fresh installs are generally easier and nicer if you can do them.
