I actually don't know much about fc3 as I don't use it.  However, the
following:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6090548&forum_id=1991

Should be of some use.  (What with the thread being entitled 'Re: Gramps

If the precedng fix fails to work, you could try dropping to a terminal
and starting GRAMPS from the command-line.  You should be able to find out
the command from the fedora website somewhere.
