On a hunch I did a 'yum list gno\* | more' and discovered that
gnome-session was not installed. Installing gnome-session, as you
may imagine, solved the problem of the missing desktops.
Now the question is: how it is that an update can remove the
gnome-session package without first installing its replacement, if
indeed gnome-session was part of the update at all?
