I'm going to assume you are using Fedora Core 3? If so, at the login prompt click the session button at the bottom, and change it from failsafe to gnome. Should work, but a lack of gnome should not be seen as a problem :P.

Hope this helps,

Alunduil

Your right about fedora. For the session the default was chosen and that is the one that is "messed up"
