I have had a similar but more serious problem after installing the 
recent updated mentioned in the bug report. But I am not using nVidia 
drivers. I have a Radeon 7000 card and am using the default drivers that 
come with FC2.

My problem occured yesterday when I tried loging out of KDE. I recieved 
an error message saying the greeter had crached. After clicking OK on 
the error dialogue the greeter tried to restart but the error ocurred 
again. I had to leave for work at that time so I just shut off the 
computer. When I arrived home from work I could not get anything 
graphical to work. Not even the graphical boot would start. I them 
booted into windows and tryed to google for some information on the 
problem but didn't find anything useful at that time. So, I took drastic 
measures and completely reinstalled FC2. Though a bit of a pain for 
other reasons it did solve the problem and all things graphical are 
working again. I have since updated everything except xorg-x11 stuff and 
everything continues to work. Of course, I'm now scared to death to 
updated anything having to do with xorg-x11 :) I hope this information 
will help sort out the problem.

Also, I am still just in the learning stages of getting to know Linux 
and I realize there was probably a better way of getting FC2 to work 
again instead of reinstalling it. So, if anyone would like offer 
suggestions on how I could have handled this in a better way, please do :)

Thanks,
