Your window manager isn't running.
Try typing "twm" or "fvwm" or any of a few other window managers. They won't
be what you are used to, but at least you will have window borders and titles
etc and be able to move stuff around while you figure out what went wrong
with the update.
I had this happen to an account on an FC7 machine the other day. I
ended up moving all the config files from ~/{user} and logging in again.
I think it was related to a config file corruption during one of the
xorg freezes during the logout process.
