Don't know if I just missed it or what - but I 'fixed' my problem.
Never did see the email come through where I shared how. Since at least
one person asked me, I'll re-send.
Not certian which package did the trick, but I 'rpm -Uvh' ed the
nautilus and nautilus-mozilla packages, then everything was fine.
Thanks -
