This sounds suspiciously like you did not install a desktop (KDE, GNOME
or another desktop.

Which desktop did you install?

One added thought. This failure to load the dsktop also happened to me 
on a development system. I logged into a terminal as root and ran 
setenforce 0

After running this command, switch back to the GUI and ctl-alt-backspace 
to restart the login manager and X.

This puts SELinux in permissive mode, like someone posted the correct 
function of this command. It will still log avc errors in your 
/var/log/messages file. These can be used to find out why your desktop 
is failing to start and you only get the grey screen and pointer.
