Very helpful here! Many many thanks!

Followup (perhaps Very Dumb, perhaps alas! OT) Question : is there a
straightforward way to tell before trying an install whether thing like
the mozilla offshoots (Galeon, Epiphany, whatever), and maybe other
things, if not native to FC5, will run into dependency hell again? 

Example: I did without Galeon for years, and just got it back, much to my
delight, with 2.0; if there were to be another trek through dependency
hell to get it, I might just put off going from FC4 to FC5 for a while, in
hopes someone would put a canned fix on a repo somewhere.
