I would have tried that, certainly.

Actually, this behaviour no longer occurs,
I presume because of some update.
(I run "yum update" religiously every night.)

However, there is still a problem starting applications
by pressing on icons in the panel.
I usually have to press several times,
or else hold down the left button for several seconds,
before there is a response.
