I just did a fresh install of F19 on my Lenovo Thinkpad T430, followed by applying all 200+ updates and a restart. The restart led to a screen where I have time and date displayed in the center of the screen, with an arrow animation appearing below it every three seconds or so. There is a bar on top with volume control and battery indicator. Mouse pointer is alive, and time is being updated. There is nothing else except the wallpaper. It has been like that for an hour. Should I give it more time? Or hit the power button? Or something else?
This sounds like the new "gnome shield". Have you tried pressing a key (other than the traditional shift or control)?
