and I am not getting anything from a gnome-session.  Just a blue
background and a working mouse pointer.  If there is some timeout
after which something else would start to happen then it is
a very loooong one.
For me on i386 it /finally/ starts (sort of), but the panel isn't working
and starting a gnome-terminal via nautilus-open-terminal it doesn't get the
window dressing.

Workaround: I'm currently running XFCE

Hi, guys,
I have this problem since I installed fc6 from scratch (downloaded/burned).
Applying 2.617-1.2401 didn't improve the situation => in fact, I simply can't work with GNOME Windows always in the left corner, overlaying each other, desktop functions not replying, start of window manager after login takes MINUTES,.....
I switched to kde/xfce,... and all is working fine.
Best match (description) => "show desktop finction is not working since window manager is not running".
Is there a correction yet (now at 2.6.17.1.2437)

It sounds like you have the same limitation due to selinux that I have. I added enforcing=0 in grub.conf since the problem is so long without a fix.
The problem I believe is related to one of the mesa libraries.

Basically, what you are seeing is a system without a windows manager. (compare to program manager in windows) Therefore, all you have is the last application pegged on your desktop in the upper left corner.

You could try running 'setenforce 0' in a root terminal and then logout of kde and starting gnome instead. Gnome should start if your problem is related to selinux.
