GNOME doesn't start automatically

Hi! Michael,

I installed the Red Hat 7.2 (Enigma) i686 with GNOME windows 
manager. Then I made the kernel matching my hardware. After 
this I started the X windows system with runlevel 5 in 
/etc/inittab (e.g. id:5:initdefault:) all was ok.

Sometimes later, my colleagues thought I had KDE in place, and 
he tried to boot it in KDE then failed (I didn't install KDE), but 
somehow, some configurations got changed, right now my system 
always boot to text mode (even /etc/inittab runlevel remained intact 
on 5) and I have to run 'startx' menually to bring up Xwindows. I 
tried to edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop and make sure the entry was 
point to GNOME, but still no luck yet, BTW, there were 2 files
(.Xclients and .Xclients-default) got generated in my root $HOME 
directory, should I remove both of them or should I change the
'exec gnome-session' to 'exec gnome-wm' in 
$HOME/.Xclients-default? Thanks!

[root@secure_server root]# cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop
DESKTOP="GNOME"

[root@secure_server root]# cat $HOME/.Xclients
#!/bin/bash
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
if [ -e "$HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY" ]; then
    exec $HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY
else
    exec $HOME/.Xclients-default
fi

[root@secure_server root]# cat $HOME/.Xclients-default
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
exec gnome-session
