I just downloaded it, then tried to launch it as root. I got this error.

As regular user: - password requested - program starts to load, same as 
it did for root. Then the same error as above is displayed in the terminal.

Up2date works, yum errors, so this might be a python error. The system 
was upgraded via ftp on the 13th and is up2date with the latest rpms 
that were available.

It is great that there wil be a GUI tool for lvm management. Does this 
rawhide progrm work for anyone else, or is it a problem related to my 
upgrade?
