After log in, gnome shell draws its top bar, but after that

After sometime it displays "sad terminal" icon with a message "Oh no!

recover. Please log out and try again".
Are NVidia drivers supported by Gnome 3?
1) The rpmfusion (kmod or akmod) install does not get rid of the nouveau
kernel modules as expected. You MUST run dracut to create a new
initramfs file before rebooting. Only then are the nouveau modules
unloaded.
2) There still seems to be something wrong because something akin
to what Pasha wrote happens in my case also.
I get to the login screen. I can login and the full gnome 3 desktop
appears (blue striped wallpaper + top bar with all the necessary
entries). But thats it. No activity at all. I can press the windows
key nothing happens, position the mouse cursor on the user name and
click but no menu drops down, etc. The screen is frozen.
I can only logout with ctrl-alt-backspace.
So can their be some kind of conflict between the nvidia drivers and
the gnome 3 shell. Is it possible that selinux is involved in this
somehow.
I really would like to solve this because I have wasted enough time
trying to get this working. Any help would be appreciated.
