Re: f7 update broke lots of stuff

Hi,

Ran yum update about an hour ago.  First update in about a week.

The frames around windows is missing.  I can't move a window with the
mouse.  I have only one desktop (workspace icon on the task bar is
missing).  In fact, there are no buttons on the taskbar for running
programs....

Went digging around to look for stuff to help describe the problem.

Looked in upgrade.log and found lots of packages with errors that look like the one below:
