As has been explained (ad nauseum) by Frederico, there are some problems
with the RPMs, I suggest you wait till a new batch comes out.

So anybody figure out why we have such high failure rate with rpms? (my
opinion on high, I just see it a lot on this mailing list)  A lot of
people get bad impressions about GNOME because the RPMs are bad not
because of stability problems (GNOME has been very stable for me, except
when I run gproc. blah)
