gdmgreeter refuses to start fc7

[Gianluca Cecchi]

After I convinced my wife to use Linux and three days of satisfied use of
fc7, today it seems  the gdm greeter refuses to start... ;-(
I'm not at the PC but I connected remotely.
She says that at the screen she gets "the greeter refused to start,
retry...". If she presses ok the same happens.
Already tried to restart but the same...

In messages I have:
Jul  3 14:40:34 localhost gdmgreeter[3129]: The accessibility registry was
not found.
Jul  3 14:40:38 localhost gdm[3025]: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 0
0)
Jul  3 14:40:38 localhost gdm[3025]: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 0

not found.

0)

Strange is that
 [root at localhost log]# ps -ef|grep -E "X|gdm" | grep -v grep
gives:

yesterday I used without problems the system that is an x86_64 updated fc7.
I updated several not apparently related packages:
In yum.log I have:
Jul 02 23:31:52 Updated: xvidcore.x86_64 1.1.3-1.lvn7
Jul 02 23:31:53 Updated: livna-config-display.noarch 0.0.14a-1.lvn7
Jul 02 23:31:53 Updated: k3b-extras-nonfree.x86_64 1.0.2-1.lvn7

then I manually installed these:
Jul 03 00:54:33 Installed: xmlrpc-c.x86_64 1.06.11-2.fc7
Jul 03 00:54:36 Installed: cmake.x86_64 2.4.6-3.fc7

Strange to say, yesterday I was proposed to upgrade gnome-menus to
2.19.4but I deselected it
It seems strange as this should be a devel package not in mainstream fc7, or
not?

After the problem today I tried to upgrade it
Jul 03 14:37:49 Updated: gnome-menus.x86_64 2.19.4-1.fc7

But nothing changes...

In /var/log/gdm I have strangely:

[root at localhost gdm]# ls -lrt
