After resolving the issue with updating Fedora, I have a new issue and it that my clock (as well as the network status icon, etc) and apps tray have literally disappeared (as shown by the provided screen shot). The only way I can can switch applications is with alt+tab. Sorry if this may sound dumb if it is a simple fix, but I have looked around in System>Preferences/Administration and could not find anything. I appreciate the help.
