Rafael,
   When you log in as root user, Does gnome still not
load?

In any case try the following on your normal account,

$ cp ~/.gnome/gnome-session ~/.gnome/gnome-session.bak
$ rm -rf ~/.gnome/gnome-session

Try again.  Maybe it will work.  

Another thing to try(I think it was already
suggested), add another user and login using that
user's profile.  Test out whether that happens to the
new added user.  If it fails and gives you the same
results, you can always fall back to KDE.  Unless of
course you want to use GNOME, save all your important
files/etc, and reinstall Fedora.  Start from scratch
again.  I know that this is a radical answer, but if
all other things fail and you need GNOME.

Regards,

Antonio
