I get the login (GDM, I suppose) fine, but after entering my password, the login dialog disappears and I'm left with the fireworks background as well. No session starts. I have to kill X to get back out. I had to resort to using the multiuser.target and running startx. I've updated the OS via yum since the initial F17 upgrade, and reset the default.target to graphical.target, and haven't had the problem recur, but I'm not confident that the problem won't resurface.
this similar to my issue - I am using F16 a Dell Laptop (Precision M4500) connected to the docking station and one external monitor. If I am booting kernel kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 all works fine.
but if I boot kernel-3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64 or kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.x86_64 I do not see the Login Box.
