I get the same error with F15 Alpha XFCE.

It works fine with F14 though.

Works for me (I know that's not a very useful statement).
I assume what your system can't find is /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gconf.so (or the 32-bit equivalent), which is provided by gnome-python2-gconf-2.28.1-4.fc15.x86_64 (or the 32-bit equivalent). I'm running yumex-3.0.2-1.fc15.noarch

Edit:
Oops - just realized, I'm running my F15 installation, not Rawhide. My Rahide install uses the same gnome-python2-gconf, along with
yumex-3.0.2-1.fc16.noarch

Wouldn't normally reply to myself, but I just installed F15 KDE (I'm not a KDE fan, but thought I'd check it out). Ran yum install yumex, which did it's thing, but got the error reported by binarynut. Installing gnome-python2-gconf gave me a working yumex. Will file a bug re the dependency.

would be great if we know what Fedora release you are running when posting

Hey detox,

I'm getting the same error message with F15 Alpha XFCE. I don't have an issue with F14 though.

dunno for sure but this looks to be a GConf error

what if you try to reinstall Gconf?

[motnahp00]

I'm assuming you mean gconf-editor

Same issue after installation.

Automatic Bug Reporting Tool has the following alert:

gui.py:27:<module>:ImportError:No module named gconf

[tox]

should be GConf2

[motnahp00]

It is already installed:

[root@fedora15a-xfce ~]# yum install GConf2
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package GConf2-2.32.2-1.fc15.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

[tox]

has me beat what to do next. , the only other thing is possibly to wait for the official beta release an download the DvD and reistall from scratch

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

i would possibly go with the 32bit not 64bit

[motnahp00]

Waiting sounds like a good plan to me. Thanks for your help detox.

[tox]

what you could do is update all packages and see how it goes, i just updated all and i got gnome3 back working

your gonna have to use Terminal to update everything

[motnahp00]

I'm completely up to date with my patches.

[rockdoctor]

From a terminal (as root, of course):
yum install gnome-python2-gconf
should let you run yumex

[motnahp00]

Worked like a charm. Thanks rockdoctor. :D
