g-v-m problems

I apologize in advance, but i don't seem to find a good response to
this.   recently upgraded from FC5 to Fedora 7.  At 2.17.0-7
gnome-volume-manager simply exits.   strace output shows it detecting
that it is already running:

9409  open("/var/run/console/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = 14
9409  fstat(14, {st_dev=makedev(253, 0), st_ino=19169369,
st_mode=S_IFDIR|0777, st_nlink=2, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_blksize=4096,
st_blocks=16, st_size=4096, st_atime=2007/06/07-12:55:15,
st_mtime=2007/06/07-12:35:05, st_ctime=2007/06/07-12:35:05}) = 0
9409  fcntl(14, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)    = 0
9409  getdents(14, {{d_ino=19169369, d_off=1437018541, d_reclen=24,
d_name="."} {d_ino=19170198, d_off=1788929546, d_reclen=32,
d_name="console.lock"} {d_ino=19169320, d_off=2010163008, d_reclen=24,
d_name=".."} {d_ino=19170199, d_off=2147483647, d_reclen=32,
d_name="kurth"}}, 4096) = 112
9409  close(14)                         = 0
9409  write(2, "\n** (gnome-volume-manager:9409): WARNING **:
manager.c/3371: already running\n", 77) = 77

Any direction / thoughts appreciated.   Thanks,  -kurt
