This is happening to me too. The following is from Trever Adams on the users list:

Not sure about low priority, this will be visible to most people who use F16 as the first thing they see when they log in and doesn't give a polished impression. (At odds with how F16beta actually compares to F15.)

Comment 2 Horst H. von Brand 2011-11-10 18:22:43 UTC
I updated to Fedora 16, which broke Gnome. Under XFCE I don't see any of this nonsense.

Comment 3 Horst H. von Brand 2011-11-18 14:53:37 UTC
krb5-auth-dialog-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64 fixes this.

BTW, I gave it low priority, as it is just an annoying message.

Confirmed, it's been fixed since this package installed, thanks.
