Hi,

Go to your /home/<user_name> using the terminal and try to delete/backup these files
.gnome
.gnome2
.gconf
.gconf-2
.nautilus
.metacity

Next start GNOME and it should write the new default settings.

Logout, log back in. Red Hat sometimes has issues with GNOME. Don't know why. To start it manually, you can always hit alt-f2 and type nautilus. If it does not exist, you uninstalled it, so run yum install nautilus.
