I just installed F12 on a fresh computer, and for the most part things seem to be working well. One thing I'm seeing in KDE, though -- which is new to me -- is that whenever I click on the Start menu (the Fedora logo in the bottom right), my whole desktop freezes for several seconds and then the menu comes up. I can tell it's freezing because, for example, if I have a "yum update" running in a konsole at the same time, its output stops being updated until the menu comes up.
Is anyone else seeing this? I'm pretty sure this is new for me since the betas ...

Hi, it's NVidia bug, lot of people complaints about it but we can't do anything as it's proprietary driver :-(

There are two solution - if you don't rely on 3D - use nouveau driver instead closed one. 2D speed is nice, better than closed but no 3D yet. If you need 3D and/or closed driver (VPDAU is nice too) try XOrg but without xserver-1.7.1-window-pictures.patch. There's scratch build in Koji (see comment #13).
