cooling fan is oscillating regularly once f11 beta starts to run

[Robert P. J. Day]

  (while i'm on a roll ...)

  on this gateway m-1626, shortly after f11 beta starts to run, the
cooling fan kicks into this regular oscillation with a period of about
4 seconds -- speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down ... you get the
idea.

  to test that it's not a HW issue, i rebooted and hopped into the
BIOS and let it sit there for several minutes, whereupon it ran nice
and smoothly the entire time.

  as soon as i rebooted fedora and got to my GNOME desktop, the
oscillation started up again.  occasionally, it will calm down briefly
but that doesn't last long.

  anyone else seeing this?
