System: updated fc6

I was trying to script a test of istanbul and rhythmbox notification icons, but
dogtail doesn't 'see' the notification area icons.  This maybe a bug with the
notification area or panel not exposing the assessibility hooks... i just don't
know. I run the sniff program and until there is a dialog window open niether
rhythmbox nor istanbul register as exposing anything in the AT-SPI browser. But
as soon as a normal gtk window is opened by either application... sniff sees
exposed hooks.

Feel free to refile this accordingly against whichever gnome component is
really at fault.  This could be related to the panel launcher in-activity bug
which has already been filed.
