I ended up doing just that. But while I was at the 7.89 version all 
these rpms with fc8 in their title were installed and I still have my 
XFCE problem.

I'm not sure if it's a kernel or glib or something else.

I can't see an easy way to downgrade the packages from development back 
to the standard F7. Does anyone know of a way to synchronize packages 
back to the latest for the repository you are looking at? Synaptic has 
the force version option. I haven't found that same option in yum

Looks like I'm back to re-installing... I don't know if it will fix the 
XFCE problem however.
