help! my system seems borked

[nyfirefly11]

So, I installed Amahi and had everything running fine. I then wanted to install Virtual Box, so I did that, as well as DKMS (which VB seemed to want). Everything was ok, except VB wouldn't run the install of Windows XP. When I asked on the Fedora forums, and showed them the error message I was getting, they said I needed to install gcc, which I did using this:

yum install gcc gcc-c++ ccache autoconf automake

The good news is that I installed gcc w/o a problem. The bad news is when I restarted, it took about 5x as long as it usually does to get to the login screen, and then it look literally 5 minutes to get to the desktop. The shortcuts on my desktop are missing, and I got this error:

Could not display "x-nautilus-desktop:///".
Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Please select another viewer and try again.

I can still get on line, but the desktop is missing, and it takes forever to run any Fedora apps...I don't know if this has anything to do with Amahi, but I wanted to run it by here and see if anyone had any thoughts.

hmm, does not look amahi-related.

other experts here may chime in, as we have a few here,
but this looks like the desktop file browser (nautilus) is wedged.

you can try ssh into the box and then try to uninstall some of the rpms you installed
(maybe one by one?) until the system works?

hmm sounds like a dependency issue.
have you done a yum update for the other packages as well?
if not:
yum update
as root.
