Fedora 16 update causes NVidia problem

Today I did an update of my Fedora 16 system equipped with a GeForce 6150LE card. The system was functioning fine, but now I get a message screen saying "Oh no! Something has gone wrong", which I guess is from Gnome.

I rebooted, followed Leigh's instructions in case something was incorrectly installed, reverted to the default driver (which sorta worked), and then reinstalled again. I then tried installing the NVidia 290 driver. Still get the message.

I'd appreciate any help diagnosing the problems since I don't know where to look. Here's the configuration info:
Code:
