3.2.5-3.fc16.x86_64 - GNOME 3 works fine with GNOME Shell

3.2.6-3.fc16.x86_64 - GNOME 3 goes into fall-back mode

AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics × 4

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start computer with latest kernel update from Software Update

Sorry, I didn't know you need to enter

su -
yum install kmod-catalyst 

whenever the kernel is updated.
