After today's yum update following my reboot I was greeted with an
blue background and an error message stating that the file at
/usr/share/gdm/themes/Default/Default.xml could not be opened.
Clicking ok here brought me to the gdm login screen with the large
flower in the lower right corner. The username box had three periods
in it, and I was unable to type anything in that box.
I checked in the /usr/share/gdm/themes directory and sure enough there
was no Default/ . As a temporary fix I went ahead and made a
symbolic link from Bluecurve/ to Default/, then linked Bluecurve.xml
to Default.xml. init 5'ing again and sure enough everything came up
just like normal.
Anyone else experience this after today's updates?

Yup, I had the exact same experience, the Default/ is not there
I booted with init 3, logged on and then started X. Instead of making
the symbolic link I started up gdmsetup and went to the Graphical
greeter pane, where I selected Bluecurve. After a reboot everything
works fine again
