Gnome not working after installing Xfce

Hi,

After I installed and used Xfce in Ubuntu, I am not able to log into Gnome. When I log on, it does some thinking and returns me back to the login screen.

However, the safe mode for Gnome works, where it does not execute the startup script.

Could someone please help me out with this? Xfce is great, but I'd love to get back to Gnome. I have a lot of resources to spare!

Thanks

Danish

Code:

echo exec gnome-session > ~/.xinitrc

then

Code:

startx
