I have a classroom that currently has Fedora 17, and tested a machine booting from the livecd via flash and the gnome3 worked? I then upgraded a machine to fedora 19, and gnome classic, KDE, and xfce work, but the gnome comes back with an error. The is also openbox, but it comes up with a blank screen, but clicking will bring up a menu and then seems to work?
Gnome come up with this error, and goes back to the login screen.
Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
With a notebook had an issue, but setting up dmlight fixed that problem, but did the same here, and still same results.
Note clear why the gnome 3 worked from the live image, but the fedup upgrade to 19 it doesn't?

because the live image does not use the nvidia BLOB driver?

How would one get the fedup upgrade to not use the nvidia BLOB driver? What is the nvidia BLOB?
Long ago, I had actually used the nvidia drivers, but they stopped supporting the cards many versions ago.

the nvidia binary drivers - BLOB = binary large object

which you did not mention in your initial post
