If you hit escape when the splash screen starts, can you tell which service startup is hanging?
It starts all the services, and what's in rc.local, but has some sort of X11 error. I went to /etc/X11 to try to remove the xorg.conf file so that it would recreate a new one, but I don't see one. I don't know for sure if it's X or Gnome that's shot at this point. Log files don't help me much except for the X11 error. I went and also erased .X1 and .X2.lock files to see if that would help; nada.
Did you try another 'yum update' after completing your old transaction?
Does 'startx' work from a text mode login? If not, maybe the error message will give you a hint.
