While I do agree with what you've said.... The one thing that hasn't
been determined is if indeed the issue is the differences in settings
between F12 and F13 and jumping between the 2 versions. The OP "thinks"
it was working before the last update.
I suppose the first thing I would do is to create a new user on F13 and
test under a clean F13 environment. I feel to do otherwise is jumping
to conclusions.
It is generally true that different verions of Fedoraq have different
versions of the configuration files. If not developers would be somewhat
limited in what they can do. I would doubt that two versions of Fedora
would have exactly the sam configuration files.
