did you select for a GUI to be installed during setup?

on the command line try the following:

Code:
yum list |grep gnome

and it should come up with something like the following

Code:

Did you perhaps immediately after the logon was presented but before the password was entered, choose other than gnome. Say Classic Gnome, or Compiz Gnome? That is a good starting point
Select plain Gnome and take it from there. Move mouse to top left corner. Tell us what happens.
