upgrade to rawhide report

Hi,

The standard "list of bugs found on upgrade" mail, I'll file these in
bugzilla in a bit. This was a "yum update" fc2->rawhide, which yum
handled nicely.

The hardware is IBM X31 with builtin e100 and airo network.

- rescanning pixbuf loaders (on installing gtk2, libwmf for example) I 
  got "undefined symbol TiffReadRGBAImageOriented" in the tiff loader;
  maybe gtk2 needs to prereq a newer version of libtiff or something

- on login, "failed to load image gcalctool.png" - this is a standard 
  problem, what if people are using an image in a launcher and we 
  rename/delete said image

- X configuration defaults to 800x600 instead of 1024x768, because
  the monitor can't be probed. result = fugly; I *thought* older 
  releases defaulted to 1024, but I could be wrong.

- when running kudzu under rhgb, arrow keys are screwed; they mangle
  the display - this is on the TCP configuration screen

- choosing "Back" on the TCP config screen seems to just cancel,
  instead of going back

- kudzu used eth1 and eth2 instead of eth0 and eth1 for the 
  two network cards; more oddly, sometimes it gets it right but 
  on reboot it seems to remove eth0 and add eth2. Also, it insists that 
  airo has to be eth0, and e100 eth1, while in FC2 it insisted the 
  opposite. I've been deleting modprobe.conf, hwconfig, 
  sysconfig/networking/devices/*, sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*, 
  sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/* and rebooting over 
  and over trying to get a correct config to be autodetected and
  "stick", no luck yet

- bringing up an interface creates an empty resolv.conf.
  Writing a correct resolv.conf results in working network,
  so the dhcp succeeds, resolv.conf is just hosed.

- the battery applet has the wrong suspend command;
  "/usr/bin/apm -s"

- _is_ there a suspend command that works for both
  apm and acpi? If not I suggest we add one...
  the "echo > /proc/acpi/sleep" thing is just 
  embarrassing anyway
