Well it is!. The screen is not *actually* unstable...after some time, it
switches to (I guess) a screen saver, which is little pop-up balloons
describing features...gwenview and other programs....Huh????

Well that's really...hmm, what is the word?...bloody stupid! I got
tagged by having fedora-development.repo in my yum.repos.d folder. Kinda
bloody stupid not to have all three in that repo and referenced as
