If you believe any particular bug report is missed out here and if you have wiki access, add it this page or contact Rahul Sundaram with the bugzilla report number explaining why you believe that particular report qualifies as a common issue.
Common Issues
GNOME session saving broken
link to this item - Bugzilla: 465321 and GNOME Bugzilla: 552387
The GNOME session management subsystem is being completely rewritten (see this page and this page), so this particular feature is in flux right now. This blog entry discusses a helpful workaround.
Xfce Window Manager and Window Manager Tweaks broken
link to this item - Bugzilla: 471927
Due to a gtk2 bug in F10, the Xfce tools for "Window Manager" and "Window Manager Tweaks" may give the following error:
"These settings cannot work with your current window manager (imsetting-xim)"
To work around this issue, run the following command in a terminal, and then restart:
su -c 'yum remove imsettings'
ATI Radeon problems
It is mentioned in the release notes, but you might have overlooked it:
The kernel modesetting drivers for ATI Radeon are still in development and buggy. Some of the issues are tracked on xorg-x11-drv-ati while others are tracked with the kernel.
If you see display-related problems on ATI Radeon then you can try adding nomodeset to the kernel boot prompt in grub or permanently in /etc/grub.conf.
Disabling compiz might also help.
