I've tried removing the xorg.conf, and renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf, which was there (I didn't put it there when I built the box a few months ago.)
This makes me think it has the 3rd-party fglrx drivers installed, but the new kernel you rebooted into didn't, and the GL stuff is broken.
Gnome3 requires a working GL X server, even if it's Mesa. IIRC the fglrx RPMs moved the Mesa drivers aside or something questionable. I'd make sure you don't have a half-installed fglrx setup, and if not, make sure that the Mesa packages are OK.
