    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.
