Do you use Gnome/KDE?

You can fix it by reinstalling Gnome or KDE (depends on what you're using) packages.
the command to reinstall package
rpm -Uvh --force packagename

Hi

Looks like some of the products of Gnome did not get installed properly. You can do are-install of those missing RPM's.Check for any missing RPM'S
rpm -qa|grep -i gnome
rpm -Uvh
rpm -ivh if the package is not present.

the command rpm -Uvh packagename
is also good to install packages that are not installed.It will also update the installed package if the one you're trying to install is newer.
