Thank you for your help
Note: Icons are active (can be clicked) but are simply not displayed in the All Applications view (nor is the vertical scrollbar).  Frequently Used view displays application icons properly, but have not tried using enough to get a scrollbar in that display.

Can you try a mesa containing this

Which at the current stage is available only in the master branch in the mesa tree [1]. I'm expecting this commit to be part of 9.2.1 in due course

Thank you for your prompt reply, but I'm not competent to understand it.  This is my first exposure to the term "mesa".  I looked at the URL but am drawing a blank.

You would need to retrieve the code and rebuild mesa (note that fedora and other distributions split mesa into lots of separate packages)

Upon rebuilding you can either create a RPM package (A) or use it from standalone location (B).

A) With regards to rebuilding and installing a RPM, this article [1] will be of use, as well as the fedora irc channel. Note that you do not need to write/create a mesa.spec file, a simple copy of the current one used by fedora should work like a charm (remember to bump the version number).

B) Whereas if you prefer to build and install mesa to a separate location our wiki has some instructions on how you can do that [2]. Note in this case may have to resolve build dependencies, and configure flags by checking with fedora's mesa.spec file.

The latest round of Fedora updates included the new mesa and my display problem is resolved.  Thank you very much for your help.
