Folks, I upgraded from FC6 to FC7 and lost what I think of as associations between users (both root and non-root users) and some applications. After the upgrade some applications (e.g., Yum, Gparted, Users & Groups, etc.) no longer work. When I attempt to start these programs I get a "waiting" cursor but the programs never start. I've done some research into this problem but I can't find anything that helps. Any ideas on what may be causing this? uname -a = Linux Linux 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:47:07 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks . . . Bob St. John
