Log in as root, and watch /var/log/messages, /var/log/secure, and /var/log/audit/audit.log while a "normal" user logs in.

# tail -n0 -f /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/audit/audit.log

So, my normal user is left logged in at /root.

/root or / ? The two are different, and non-root users should not have access to /root

My next step is to take a look at the gnome startup script vs startx to
see if I can figure out the differences if no one has encountered this
before.

startx runs the X server, which will in turn run an X session. Gnome doesn't have a "startup script" per se, but if it did, it would be an X session, something that runs after / under startx. There's nothing there to compare.

However, you could capture startx output and execution for debugging:

$ sh -x /usr/bin/startx > startx.trace 2>&1

The file "startx.trace" will have a list of all of the commands run, and all of their output (including errors).

/var/log/X* might be interesting as well.
