Lost Gnome after upgrade to Kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6

I updated to Kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 and now I no longer have Gnome. My
login screen  no longer lists Gnome as an option.  I was able to logon
into KDE and saw that Gnome was unchecked with Software updater? I ran
rpm -qa | grep gnome and saw the packages installed, but the Software
updater says otherwise.

On my other systems (4) I was able to install the new kernel without the
same problem... I also noticed that if I ran rpm -qa |grep gnome-d | wc
-l  the working systems have 54 packages and the fouled-up system only
has 38.. Has anyone else experienced this?

I let the Software Update install Gnome again and will restart the GUI.
