My USB printer is OK for local printing, but  my digital camera hasn't 
worked for months now.
The scripts in  /etc/hotplug are not getting run to set the permissions 
properly.
(Bugzilla 150985 has been open since March, 165914 since August.)

I have never been able to get any USB webcam to function.  Good luck finding
any accurate HOWTOs to solve that!

Nautilus no longer recognizes when a CD is inserted.
Can't tell you when this stopped working, but I needed it last night and 
it didn't work.

Cups printer sharing of a local printer doesn't work.   I need to 
investigate this more but I
suspect some kind of overzealous security feature...   (Bugzilla 166446)

IMO, recent Rawhides are a mess!
Its probably because of a lot of churn in core software is leaving lots 
of breakage in the applications,
but now it needs some focus on the various config and security scripts 
to make the day-to-day features
that people need start to work again.
