If you start pgadmin from a terminal, you might see an error message.
The other place to check is you system logs, perhaps SELinux is interfering.

And you don't get an error message in the terminal? Not even "process
exited on signal XXX"?

> SELinux is interfering? like how?

It sets policies for what applications can access what files/other
resources. It might not know about pgadmin at all, or if it does might
not be setup correctly.

How did you install pgadmin - was it from a Fedora repository, another
RPM, source, static binary?

Oh, and don't forget to CC: the list - I don't read this mailbox
directly much, and I'm not a Fedora user so you'll want others to see this.
