a couple hours after the update (and requisite reboot and reinstallation of nvidia proprietary driver), I noticed I wasn't gettting any email. upon a little investigation, I noted that the update had replaced my custom sendmail.cf with its own. I don't recall updates to sendmail doing that previously,.... also, around that time my panels stopped unhiding, so they remained in a hidden state that I could not recover them from. logged off and on and it didn't help, in fact it was worse: no panels at all. so I did a reboot and now they seem to be working. I'll have to keep an eagle-eye on them. so far, all else seems well.

The rpm updated the unmodified sendmail.mc configuration file. The startup script for sendmail then saw an apparently out-of-date sendmail.mc and rebuilt it from the new sendmail.cf. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
