I use this method too (I like to have the control in case there are 
graphics problems in startup) but I am still on F12 at the moment.  I 
also have to have /etc/sysconfig/desktop with:

	PREFERRED=startlxde

AND ~/.Xclients-default with:

	WM=startlxde

or LXDE does not work but ONLY changing ~/.Xclients-default to:

	WM="gnome-session"

causes GNOME to be used?!

Phil.
