This thread is a bit old but I thought I should mention what I've discovered: Booting into runlevel 5 works if I disable RHGB (by removing "rhgb" from the Linux command line). RHGB also doesn't run in runlevel 3, so that's why booting into runlevel 3 made a difference. It seems like X works only if X hasn't run before since the machine was booted. (RHGB uses its own instance of X.) I no longer have to run "init 5" manually. Of course I don't know how this will work for anyone else.
