ok this is definetly a pebkac situation...
during a scrambled attempt to remove unnecessary programs using "pirut" I accidentally un-installed gnome. the previous posts' tip was how I determined this (using "switchdesk" ) so once I realised I just hopped back in "pirut" and reinstalled gnome....all better
commandline:
yum install switchdesk
yum install switchdesk-gui
switchdesk-gui
(realised I was an idiot when I didnt see gnome as an option)
pirut
(reinstalled Gnome and all better)
thanks for the tip
