coreutils is installed, cannot su -, and cannot add user still running as root

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear all,

I have run the updates on this machine, the fedora 7
machine updated to rawhide.  I cannot add users and
still cannot add users to troubleshoot errors.  

[root at localhost ~]# system-config-users
The program 'system-config-users.py' received an X
Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not
exist)'.
  (Details: serial 91 error_code 15 request_code 45
minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are
reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after
causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync
command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a
meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the
gdk_x_error() function.)
[root at localhost ~]# system-config-users --sync

Window System error.

[root at localhost ~]# rpm -qa coreutils
coreutils-6.10-17.fc9.i386
[root at localhost ~]#


I updated to today's rawhide report, and I get the
following error message

*** removed to save space ****

Error Summary
-------------

So I ran it with 
[root at localhost ~]# ./nodep 

and got most of the updates.  

How can I fix this issue?

Thanks,

Antonio
