Re: Fedora 24 KDE no joy

Argh. Nevermind. Long story short, there's something fubared with my Fedora
upgrade. It doesn't come up with the graphical interface, I have to start
it with startx. I forgot about this and went to try a Gnome session or
different user. Audacity works fine in a root session.

Off to fix the real problem.
