Odd because:
1) xfce ships with FC2, I guess someone would have notice :)
2) I, like many others, am using gnome apps (from gnome 2.2 to gnome 2.6)
w/out any problem

What does a strace on the process give?

1) determine the PID of the process hanging
2) do a "strace -p #pid" 
3) That should tell you what the process is waiting for
