interesting advise. but since i've been running f7 since it came out,
& this started on the 22nd, _and_ i noticed that it occurred when
using konqueror, i switched to firefox for a time (~day) no prob.
checked my downloads for k related stuff on th 22nd, found
kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree, rpm -V had a problem with it,
_removed_ same, ( i dont see relevance, but) now testing new
configuration.
