That is strange, but X is the server required for all graphical
applications, so it is not a desktop like gnome or kde, gnome or kde runs

What happens if you do startx?

HEllo!
My fedora 7 installed gnome and orca, without installing the x.

I'm a bit comfused, is x a desktop environment of its own, or is x just a
server wich gnome and kde runs on?
