I booted with completely default settings with a clean install of 
rawhide from 2 days ago.  Jeremy Katz suspects that my "Workstation" 
install somehow missed installing something that other "Everything" 
installs did.  Which install did you use?  I guess yours differs as it 
was an upgrade too.

The GNOME menus and logout is hosed in my clean install of rawhide from 
2 days ago.
