Same exact thing happened to me again.  Evolution crashes.
Restarting evolution causes a window with "recover" & "ignore"
options.  Clicking on "ignore" crashed X, which didn't restart...
it dropped to a console login.  console-kit used all of the CPU
until I killed it.  starting X from the console caused KDE to start
instead of gnome that is my default (as set from the GUI login
screen) desktop.  KDE took several minutes to get to a point
where I could interact with it in any way.  I count 5 bugs in
rapid succession:

1) evolution crashed (bugzilla 450017)
2) X crashed (bugzilla 449460)
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449460>3) X didn't restart
4) console-kit sucked CPU
5) KDE started instead of gnome

It happened another time when I clicked on a GTK button in a
different application.  It gets hard to report a bug when the
procedure to reproduce it involves causing 2-4 other bugs
first!  Arg.  I'm back in f8 for a while.  :(
