Upgrading FC6 -> F7 is not painless at all (whereas FC5 -> FC6 was a breeze). The things that needed sorting out were :

Samba shares no longer work – not sure why. Quickest to rebuild /etc/samba/smb.conf rather than sort it out properly.
xorg.conf file fails (causing even greeter login to fail). Probably due [...]

Somehow, configuration files on FC6 no longer work on F7.
Seems best to scrap it all and use the
system-config-samba
tool to build it all again.
This sucks.

Many people will find it handy to have MS TrueType fonts available to make sure many websites render correctly. You can download the latest RPM from
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html#ttf
and install it as follows:
# wget –referer=http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html \ http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/files/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm# rpm -ihv msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm# /etc/init.d/xfs restart

Simple solution :
yum remove beagle
