Well, looking in /etc/yum.repos.d/, I see:

    fedora-devel.repo   fedora-updates.repo
    fedora.repo      fedora-updates-testing.repo

Do I need a key for each of those four repositories?  I've imported both 
the Red Hat and fedora.us keys you specified above, yet on attempting to 
'yum install xorg-x11', I still get errors like:

    public key not available for 
//var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.21.i386.rpm

So, what key do I need for this package?  How do I know what repository 
it's trying to retrieve it from?

Thanks,
