It's one of those fuzzy boundary things, almost certainly at
least 99 44/100% my error -- and not reproducible (nor deducible, despite
having occurred three times, alas!).
I've asked repeatedly, in several places, starting here on this
list: no response. I tried both the LUGs I follow; nobody on either had
seen it. If it was (or is) on Gnome's on RedHat's bugzilla, I missed it.
Concluding it was some aberration of mine, I started trying
things, especially "yum update" and "yum remove" followed (after taking
note of other things being removed) by "yum install."
Last of all, as I mentioned in my first post, I tried preupgrade.
So now I propose to wipe the offending machines, or at least tell
anaconda to use all space -- and start over with F 12, which has never
had the problem, reconfigure it, and try preupgrade again (or else a
fresh install of F 14 next month).
On an affected machine the most conspicuous symptom (to me, at
least) is that I can't use the workspace switcher.

My heartfelt thanks to all! I've downloaded F12 from two of the
sources posted here, and am burning DVDs as I type.
