That was a mailing list question, I'll file a bug report if someone
suggests the correct component.
I don't see the point of writing lots of information until requested -
it may or may not be relevant.
Kernel is 1688, with the binary nvidia driver. Software is fedora
rawhide + rawhide extras + livna + selinux repository, All non-obsolete
or broken packages installed as of 2-3 days ago. The hardware is an
Athlon 1600+, nvidia 5700 (256MB), 512MB SDRAM. This is a rather old
computer, but that doesn't explain the behavior I am seeing.
