X Problem

I don't know if my previous message got through, so I am going to restate my problem briefly:

	I am running RH6.1 on a PII-350.  I did not do a lot of custom configuration, as I am new 
to Linux.  I was running Gnome and
Enlightenment as my window manager.  After getting my feet wet with recompiling the kernel and 
upgrading my version of Enlightenment
to 16.4, I decided to upgrade from XFree86-3.3 to XFree86-4.0.  Everything went well with my 
installation, but when I ran startx, I
got an older window manager (fvwm95 or fvwm2).  I did get enlightenment running, but I can't get 
gnome to run from the command
line.  Every time I try and run gnome-session, I get an error saying 'GTK - cannot open display'.  
BUT, if I run gnome-session from
an xterm window when I have enlightenment up and running, my old desktop appears and runs fine.  
ANY IDEAS?

Thanks,
Gene Dascher
