Status of Fedup'ng F17->F18; when in doubt, yum upgrade ...

Greetings, Because using an updates-testing version of fedup left my F17->F18 upgrade on a dual-core desktop in a mixed state (lots of F18 rpms interlaced w/ F17 ones). For a while the machine would boot in an F17 kernel; while went through a process of 'yum remove'-ing of F18 duplications.

Going a bit nutty here, using i3 WM on top of Gnome, and am only able to trigger message tray (i.e. notification menu) display via mouse click. On Gnome IRC I was told that there are no keybinding hooks in the notification-daemon code, therefore toggle show/hide message is not possible without a m
