Not sure what to call it, but when I talk about "username widget," I am referring to the widget at the top left of the screen.(its the one with the Notifications, Logout, Lock, Poweroff" It shows my Full Name Description of problem: When I select "Settings" from the "username widget". Nothing happens. No menu or anything. Looking at /var/log/messages I see these errors happen directly when I select "settings" /etc/gdm/Xsession[2667]: JS ERROR: !!!

Ok, so never mind. Sorry, I had accidentally un-installed the control-center RPM earlier. I just added control-center and orca back in, and all is fine. This is not a bug. User error = Me. Sorry for submitting.
This was user error, I am closing this out...
