Try running 'package-cleanup --problems' to find out. Hello Paul Here is the result of 'package-cleanup --problems': [root@localhost ~]# package-cleanup --problems Loaded plugins: blacklist, fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit No Problems Found [root@localhost ~]# I know of at least one other person on Fedora 12 that is not having this issue. But I want to re-state something from my original message and get your comments on that: 1. Going from the assumption/possibility that pygtk2 might be broken on Fedora 12, I grabbed the pygtk2 SRPM from Rawhide and successfully rebuilt it. 2. I then successfully ran "rpm -Fvh" on the resulting RPM's. 3. I then opened up a terminal, and since I had not yet logged out and logged back in, I ran "su - steve" 4. I then re-attempted to run "bleachbit" and "listen" (the two Python based applications that I am referring to for testing purposes.) The result was that I could now run both applications as a regular user! This joy was short lived... 5. I then rebooted, because the kernel had been updated recently. After rebooting, and logging back in, I tried to run "listen" and "bleachbit" again. This time I could NOT run them as a regular user. So, why did upgrading the pygtk2 RPMS temporarily fix my problem, and why did rebooting result in the problem coming back again? Remember, I did not run "yum downgrade pygtk2*" until AFTER the reboot, and AFTER I discovered that my workaround had stopped working... Steven P.
