Well this came up back in april. So, here it is again.
There was a change in the tooltips function which blows the control panel up.

Try modifing Control-panel (from the source RPM) with this unified diff:

--- control-panel.c Wed Apr 15 14:21:50 1998
+++ control-panel.c.orig Sun Nov  9 14:50:15 1997

-      gtk_tooltips_set_tip(tooltips, button, items->label, "" );
+      gtk_tooltips_set_tips(tooltips, button, items->label);

vbox = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0);
