It did. Using the correct name on this box, the only results, though, were
in /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts and the
printer definitions. I have checked the corresponding files on the offending
laptop, but can't see anything wrong. I'm beginning to think that it's a
package bug in rawhide.

Check the settings in the following files:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<dev> for DHCP_HOSTNAME
This should be just the host name you want.
/etc/sysconfig/network for HOSTNAME
This should be the FQDN.
If these are not set and the hostname command still gives
"localhost.localdomain" then this is probably a hard-coded default. You
should be able to not set DHCP_HOSTNAME and just use a generated
hostname from the DHCP server. You also might want to retry the grep
with just localhost or just localdomain. The search you did will only
match localhost.localdomain; not just one or the other.
Cheers,
Dave
