    Okay, I figured out that my /etc/sysconfig/desktop file got wiped out. I
    replaced it, and at least X and gnome now come up. :) The only problem is
    that all of my toolbar buttons (open office, mozilla, etc) don't show up
    any more. I guess I can live with manually re-creating them. :)

    Thanks,
    Ben
