Kind of Blue

Ok had to start of with the title of one of the best albums of all time because it sums up my problem quite well.

I am running Fedora 17, with the Mate Desktop.

I fired it up today and everything went perfect until I fired up Second Life. Second Life is blue. It's lost all other colours (apart from black) - there's no green, no red.

But what is strange here is that if the top application on a desktop, everything on that desktop is blue, but if another app is running in the foreground, it looks normal. Trouble is, screenshots look normal otherwise I'd post one here.

I am not sure if this is related but I did do a "yum clean all" earlier as recommended in the MATE thread, and now get the following error:

Quote:
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorl...a-17&arch=i386 error was
12: Timeout on http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorl...-17&arch=i386: (28, '')
but when I tried to reinstall them from the RPM fusion site it doesn't want to know.

Is this a graphics problem? (nVidia 9800GT - with drivers installed as per Leigh's Guides and no probelms at all previously) or something more serious? I don't think it can be a Second Life issue because I've tried it with different viewers (Singularity and the Official Viewer) but on the other hand have I somehow knocked out something that gives the other colours?

Anyhow, I'm very bemused and any advice would be welcome. Thanks
