Just asking :-). I was kinda surprised that no new
kernel showed up in any of the F8 or F9 updates
(for me anyway).
I'm rather wait for 2.6.27 since it's just around the corner (i'm
waiting for ath9k) :)

This error has nothing to do with signing keys.
That said, Rawhide packages are NOT signed. That's because they're NOT
intended
for the average user to install and in particular, MUST NOT be installed
on a
Fedora 9 system.

I know that.
But there is no reason why KDE-4.1.1 won't run in FC9.
There's a reason: it has been built for Rawhide and thus wants Rawhide
libraries. This in turn forces other applications to be upgraded to
versions
also built against Rawhide libraries, which means you're upgrading a huge
number of packages to Rawhide versions and effectively no longer running
F9,
but a broken mix of F9 and Rawhide.
KDE 4.1.1 packages actually targeted for F9 are about to be pushed to
updates-testing (and the stable updates about a week later).

I know this may shock you Patrick but I now have kde-4.1.1-fc10 running

<SARCASM>Congratulations!</SARCASM> You are now running an unsupported mix
of
F9 and Rawhide packages. You are going to encounter many bugs due to the
fact
that the mix is completely untested. You are also going to end up with
some
packages which got updated from Rawhide getting no security updates
because
Rawhide has a newer version and you're not pulling the security updates
from
Rawhide (because chances are you didn't even keep track of WHICH packages
you
installed from Rawhide, it's definitely not just KDE, due to the network
of
dependencies and reverse-dependencies). And there is NO reliable way to
get
back to stock F9 without reinstalling.
So you're left with only 2 options:
A. upgrade to Rawhide completely, track Rawhide and eventually end up with
F10,
assuming you manage to jump off Rawhide at the right time and won't drag
in F11
Rawhide stuff again.
B. completely reformat and reinstall F9 from scratch and NEVER EVER AGAIN
touch
the Rawhide repository.
We're building KDE updates for F9 for a reason!

There's quite a few "running by default" services that don't seem
sensible defaults. e.g. There's an ISDN service, and that's such an
unusual type of comms that I'd expect anyone using it would know how to
turn on the service for themselves.

I've been trying to figure out the mysteries of NetworkManager and
mixing wired and wireless connections. I just noticed that if I don't
have NetworkManager configured at boot, I don't get the AVC denial nor
do I see the socket on fd 25.
Additionally, I noticed that even if NetworkManager is configured at
boot, I don't see the AVC denial/fd 25 issue when running in a virtual
terminal. Upon further investigation, this issue only seems to occur
when running KDE+konsole, but not KDE+gnome-terminal, nor
GNOME+konsole, nor GNOME+gnome-terminal.
So KDE+Konsole seems to be leaking a file descriptor.
Also, I don't see fd 25 when connecting remotely (over SSH) and
running the above ls command.

Yes. Ironically I could never remember the name Kicker since it means
nothing whereas Kickoff does kind of mean something :-)

I get all ALL kinds of advice on these forums!
I've gotten this:
yum clean all
yum clean metadata
yum clean dbcache
from several different sources.
I am spread way too thin already to become an expert on yum, XORG,
X11, SELinux, the kernel, device drivers, etc.
and many other technologies I have NO knowledge of!
I will use yum as an update mechanism and trust its creators
as I do with XP Prof.

Who has said that? It's nonsense, because "all" implies
"metadata dbcache packages headers". No need to run three
different commands if you want to purge everything. These
options are explained in the manual, btw.
yum update
or get nothing when there IS something to get!
"yum clean metadata" is enough to make Yum re-download the repository
metadata (instead of reusing cached data for 30 minutes). When refetching
metadata it is possible that you are assigned to a different mirror
that is more up-to-date than your previous one. There is NO guarantee
for that.
