Thanks. I actually did clean things up as best I could before intalling
FC3. However, I have a /home partition which I keep unformatted for new
installs (thus saving all my files!). Even so, I deleted ~/.kde and
~/.kderc and ~/.config before I used the new FC3 install. I also
reformatted /, /boot, /var, /tmp, before installing FC3 -- and yes, those
are all separate partitions.

Well, I just bought a 160GB USB drive. I think I will back everything up
onto that and then do a really, really, clean and fresh install.

Unless I can get a working Gimp2.2 on FC2. That's all I really want FC3
for, anyways! Gimp 2.2 is by far the best version of Gimp to date. BY
FAR. They have fixed a lot of little things that used to be quirky
annoyances. Now, Gone! Fixed! Plus other New Features(TM)!

Allright, thank you all very much. moo cow grassy ass.
