IIRC X Windows wouldn't start, which I attributed to installing
sylpheed-claws. Even after using Yum to remove X Windows, then
re-installing, X Windows failed to install via yum. Presumably
Sylpheed-claws worked fine, but some weirdness with X Windows there.
Wheras, using the GUI, it went smoothly. ?
