This is not the normal default behavior ... something strange is
happening with your setup.
Maybe you didn't install the normal Gnome group but removed some of the
default gnome programs.
If you think you did do a default gnome install .... here is how to
test it:
yum groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment"
That will tell you any default programs that you don't currently
have ... not have some of the programs can affect the default user
scripts.
