    Very Dumb Question:

    I have FC1 on two desktop machines, and normally leapfrog them : one got
    RH8 while the other kept 7.2 till I felt safe with 8; then the latter got
    RH9 while the other kept 8; and so on. (I try to stay at least one release
    beyond the cutting edge.)

    But I hit a snag (and have asked about it in several places, to no avail;
    my apologies if this is a repeat here!): the machine that should now go
    forward to FC2 has a gnome-terminal that never gets a prompt.

    I have no idea what I could have done to cause that. I've tried a variety
    of things, including using my new Fedora-Legacy yum.conf to do yum remove
    gnome-terminal and then yum install gnome-terminal. It did both, or seemed
    to. But I still get a terminal with no prompt. I have three different
    profiles defined for it, and normally use it with four or five tabs; but
    none of the profiles gets any prompt.

    I would prefer to upgrade rather than scrub and do a clean install of FC2;
    but since nothing else gets my prompt back, I doubt that would, either.
