I'm using Gnome but tried that and also tried a full reboot after the updates but that didn't help. I also "rpm -e" all the packages I listed and reinstalled them. Last night I updated everything I could see that seemed related to gnome, gtk, pygtk, Xorg, etc., on the theory that there was perhaps some unrecognized dependency on a recent package but it didn't help. (Unfortunately I can't keep everything up to date over a 3KB/s modem connection that rarely runs unattended for more than a couple hours.) The only other thing I notice is when I run ibus-daemon from a shell with "-v", I see lots of errors like the following that appear when it's started: (ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed : Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/default->on_off] (ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed : Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/default->circle_input_mode] ... (ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed : Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/wnn->add_word] (ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed : Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/wnn->start_setup] They all have in common a message about not getting a value from engine/anthy/shortcut/<something>. Perhaps these are normal? If not, do they ring a bell with anyone? I don't see any messages when I type the activate sequence (alt-grave) in some window. > FWIW, I saw your earlier query....but since all was working > for me and I > was unable to update to your level I just didn't answer. > > IMHO, people shouldn't threaten to revert to Windows.

In retrospect it did sound a little pissy -- chalk it up to a high level of frustration. But I have to honestly say that I have more commitment to using a system that meets my needs than to FOSS political correctness. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
