In addition, be sure you're choosing "Default" on the
g/k/xdm login screen session chooser. As best I've been
able to trace the scripts (they get confusing very quickly,
at least in Red Hat), the case statement in
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession will send you off into default GNOME-
or KDE-Land unless you tell it to avoid them.
