I saw exactly the same, but with the rpm provided at ftp.5z.com. For a new
user it works fine, but not for an existing one. I found deleting ~/.gnome/gdm
got it working again. As this just contains the last session information, I
suspect choosing a different session from the login screen would have the same
effect.
