See what /usr/sbin/chksession -l says. If it does not have Gnome, some
thing is broken in your install.
mdk rebuilds gui available envs each time it boots. Look at
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime
It calls /usr/sbin/fndSession, which in turn calls /usr/sbin/chksession.
All of them work based on some mdk specific files (eg, list of wm
installed), that must be updated each time you insall a wm. So if
you install an rpm from rhat or helix, perhaps it does not all the
things needed to let the system knoe theres a new wm.
