Since these packages have been installed many of my applications willnot start.
Can anyone tell me how to revert these packages to an earlier version?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance
If you moved beyond Fedora 7 to rawhide reverting piecemeal is likely toresult in breakage. If you are not interested in continuing to test thedevelopment tree do a clean installation of Fedora 7.

It's a clear indication of my lack of experience/understanding of theFedora development cycle.

Thank you for the advice Rahul. Not the news I was looking for, butthat's not your fault. Looks like I will be doing a clean install tomorrow.
