- Previously, users could move the gnome-panel to from one part of the desktop to another by clicking on the gnome-panel, dragging it to another location while holding down the mouse button, and releasing the mouse button. Now, users must also hold down a key on the keyboard while moving the gnome-panel. By default, this modifier key is the Alt key, but users may change it to any other key by using the windows preference tool (System>Preferences>Windows).
- </para>
- <para>
- This change in behavior greatly reduces the chances of a user accidentally moving the panel, and makes moving the gnome-panel the same as moving windows in GNOME.

+ Root user is disabled by defaulf for GNOME Display

+ Fedora 11 includes a snapshot of the NetworkManager
+ plasmoid <package>kde-plasma-networkmanagement</package>,
+ which replaces the KDE 3
+ <package>knetworkmanager</package> snapshot in Fedora
+ 10. As it was not considered ready for production use, the
+ KDE Live images still use <package>nm-applet</package>
+ from <package>NetworkManager-gnome</package> instead, as
+ in Fedora 8, 9 and 10. The
+ <package>gnome-keyring-daemon</package> facility saves
+ passwords for <package>nm-applet</package>. If you wish to
+ try <package>kde-plasma-networkmanagement</package>, it
+ can be installed from the repository.

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ As the default updater in KDE is
+ <package>kpackagekit</package> (since Fedora 10),
+ the <package>gnome-packagekit</package> updater is
+ no longer set up to run in KDE (as of Fedora
+ 11). This avoids the situation where both update
+ applets were trying to run at the same time. Users
+ of Fedora 9 or 10 who were running
+ <package>gnome-packagekit</package> under KDE should
+ install <package>kpackagekit</package> when
+ upgrading to Fedora 11.

Some modified configuration files will be replaced by their original versions during the upgrade. Your modified versions of these configuration files will be saved as *.rpmsave files in that case.

+ <para>
+ The boot menu for the Fedora Distro DVD includes a new
+ option: Install system with basic video driver. This
+ option boots the system with the generic vesa driver
+ (using the <command>xdriver=vesa</command> kernel option)
+ and allows you to use Fedora's graphical installation mode
+ even when anaconda cannot load the correct driver for your
+ video card.
