Created attachment 496953 [details] Xorg.0.log Description of problem: After a large update about 11.30pm UTC, 4th May, i'm unable to log in using X. I click on my username, enter my password, and after 20 seconds or so of blank screen, it returns to the login screen. I'm not entirely sure where to look in the logs for clues, but the following is the last line in .xsession-errors: g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting. And i've attached the Xorg.0.log.
After a bit more investigation, i've discovered that somehow my system seems to have updated itself to F16. I suspect this was mainly due to operator malfunction and i may have changed something in the add/remove software app that i didn't mean to. So this probably really isn't an F15 bug after all. For the first time in the 16 years i've been running Linux, i did a re-install to fix the problem. The system seemed to be a jumble of F15 and F16 packages and i couldn't see any easy way to untangle it without re-installing.

It is probably too late, but if not then take a look at yum distro-sync in yum(8). Anyway, concerning this bug, I close it as a duplicate of bug 698237. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 698237 ***
