Pretty good guess on that one is that when booting into those alternate 
environments you're getting the environment variable http_proxy set, which 
causes the gtk apps to freeze attempting to connect to your proxy.  There have 
been a good number of people with that issue on fedora forum in F8, so I'd guess 
the issue remains in F9.
