I don't think 'yum update' will reinstall a removed package. How would it know to update something that is not there? You'd need to use rpm to reinstall (or the software installer GUI). I rebooted (I hate rebooting a Linux box, it's such an admission of defeat :) nautilus seems to be working for me, but the CD burner is still failing. Started a KDE session and k3b did burn a CD, only it was garbage because a bunch of files were just missing! No errors, just missing files. I made a new user and logged into a gnome session as that user and the nautilus CD burner just hangs. I don't exactly know why I am hung up on the CD burner, except it failing was the first symptom I saw after the Feb 18 updates. It was working fine before that.
