sorry I did not know that fedora 13 is not supported

Its EOL.

Supported are the 'current' last 3 releases, which are: F14, F15 and F16.
As soon F17 is release, F14 will be EOL, at least if i understood the Fedora rules

EDIT:
About your issue:
I'd rename ~/.config to ~/.config.org when loged in username1 (which flickers), then relog to username1 again.

Howver, ~/.config contains many, many settings, and without knowing which DE you're using, cant help you further.

F14 has less than 2 weeks left.

DE is the abrevihation for Desktop Enviroment, which means, gnome, kde, xfce, lxde.
REnaming .config may be done by opening your filebrowser, go to your homedirectory (/home/curioustoknow),
press ctrl+h to see Hidden files.
Select the .config dir (watch out for the dot before the name), press F2, then type the new name.

I suggest renaming, since, yes, this folder is pretty important.
With renaming this folder and a relog, you'll know if there is a wrong setting located in this folder.
If it still flickers, you rename ~/.config.org back to ~/.config and do another relog to load the config files.

well, the problem is that I cant even open the browser as you can in the screenshot I sent, i dont have any menus on my system when login as username1
