This is after boot up is finished? You're probably hitting bug 471498. Does updating to the plymouth here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=69803 and then running /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd (as root) fix things for you?
Fixed, yes most probably I hit bug 471498, updating to the latest version fixed the problem. Thanks for the quick answer.
