Problem is fixed, what I did is forced a reinstall of GDM, which gave me back X, than all GTK stuff was not working look in in the Ximian Red Carpet log file and found that when I installed the gnome devel librairies it also upgrade libglade2 and gtk+2, so I forced the reinstall of the rpms provided on the Red Hat CDs. All is back to normal, thanks for the help.
