I don't know how to describe it better; if I bring up windows mode in
GNOME shell, all the icons and fonts on the desktop are blurry and
pixelated. This only happens after a normal login followed by a suspend
or hibernate. Upon resume/thaw, the desktop is fuzzy. Sometimes the
fonts in the top panel are fuzzy too, sometimes not. Fonts inside a
terminal or browser window look fine, so this is only affecting the
panel and desktop.
This is on an x86_64 machine with a fresh install of F16, but preserving
the old home directories from F14 (i.e. prior to Gnome 3). I have
installed all the shell extension packages, but the issue occurs even
with all of them turned off. If I create a brand new user which did not
exist prior to the upgrade, the issue does not occur for that user. It
does occur for two different pre-existing users. This suggests that the
problem is in the conversion of settings (it is odd that I have done
several other machines, both i386's and x86_64's, in a very similar way
without this problem occurring).
So the questions are:
1) Has anyone else seen this;
2) Is there a setting or settings that I can change to fix this; and
3) What dot directories do I need to move out of the way if I want to
start Gnome 3 with a "clean slate"
I know I will probably get stuck with option 3) even though it will be a
big hassle to recreate all the settings, but having hibernate/suspend
not work is even more of a hassle.
Thanks in advance,
--Greg
P.S. Why does this happen only with my wife's desktop and not mine? :-)

Per item 3, try creating a new user to test.
I have a feeling this is a suspend issue, albeit a strange one I may not be competent with.* What video hardware and driver is in use on this box?
BTW, you might enjoy extensions.gnome.org;* requires firefox last time I checked.

As I mentioned in the original post, I did that. The new user does not
have the issue.

It is using the nvidia blob. I suppose I could try it with nouveau to
see if it still occurs, but at some point I will need VDPAU on this box
which means I will have to get the nvidia blob to work (assuming that
proves to be where the problem lies). But if it's the driver, why does
it work for a new user?
Does anyone know which dot directory(s) I would need to clear out in
order to start Gnome3 with a clean slate?
> BTW, you might enjoy extensions.gnome.org
So far I have only installed the gnome-shell-extensions* RPMs, all of
which came from fedora or fedora-updates repo.

I don't think it's a Gnome issue per se. I saw this occasionally under LXDE and still today under XFCE. I primarily see it in
Thunderbird and Firefox (typically in the Tab headings) and it normally clears when I click on the tab. Perhaps what I'm seeing is
something peculiar to some extension I have in Thunderbird and/or Firefox. I don't know for sure. It's never bothered me enough to
try to determine what is happening since it clears when I "refresh" the tab.

Sorry Greg, posting while distracted.* I reread, and thought I had caught my message before it left the outbox.
