I just reinstalled from USB stick that is several months old. It loaded the 5.14.0-30 kernel, and I was able to then log in and run terminal windows and firefox normally.
I then ran "dnf update" in a terminal window as root, updating to the 5.14.0-205 kernel:

I see that gnome configuration isn't stored in human-readable text files, they're instead in a windows-registry-like database managed by the "dconf" program. How lovely.
Has anybody else encountered this? Is there a 'character echo' setting of some kind, into which somebody stuck an extra space? Is there any way to fix this?
