Rawhide: Gnome totally busted after today's (?) round of updates

After "yum erase"ing rhythmbox (it did hold back some hundreds of updates),
and rebooting into my Gnome/Openbox session (and leaving, the screensaver
kicked in) I found the background flickering. I gave the password to the
screensaver, and the background stabilized, but nothing else (Gnome panels,
etc) did show up.

Went to alt-ctrl-F2, logged into root and did:

telinit 3
telinit 5

No X did show up. Rebooted by ctrl-alt-del, and tried with plain Gnome. No
dice either. Rebooted again, now running XFCE4.
