Well, it's the black screen which says "fedora" at the bottom.  Maybe 
not from grub.

No, it goes back to the black screen with a cursor, non-responsive.

If I "killall" in F3 and switch back to F2, I see the login screen.  If 
I enter my password, the screen freezes.  After some time, it turns 
black and displays only the cursor.

I'm going to recreate my home directory from scratch, as before, and 
track the changes I make.  Maybe there will be a clue.
