I had that problem on this box after an "upgrade" to F16 went sour.  Try 
booting into runlevel 3, or whatever it's called now, log into a CLI as 
root and try this:

yum reinstall gdm

and reboot.  In my case, a database had gone away and the reinstall 
restored it.

Joe,

I finally stumbled on a technique that allowed me to boot bu just
deleting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  Only problem I had as a result is
that I can not get the gnome3 interface, when I log in it switches to
the fallback of gnome2. 

Your idea of using reinstall seemed intriguing. I tried to reinstall
gnome-shell* but that did not bring any success either.  

I had such difficulty adjusting to gnome3 when it came out, I have been
a little surprised by my attitude of missing the gnome3 interface now.  

If you have any other suggestions I would appreciate some help. 

Greg
