I would never sign on as root to install x11 or fink. Files that you need will be in one of three areas-
~/ (HOME)
/sw (Created by Fink)
/usr
At this point, you should not mess with /usr. The HOME directory is where your .xinitrc and .tcshrc files need to be. With the dot prefix, these are invisible to the Finder, but can be seen in the Terminal by entering 'ls -al'.
Why don't you get x11 and fink installed and make sure some basic apps such as eyes, xcalc, xload work. Type in 'xeyes &', 'xcalc &', 'xload &' in an xterm window and see what happens.
Then worry about gnome and added stuff.

All the other remove commands worked fine from Desktop. Guess I ought to go over them again from Root.

Should I be worried, or is this cause for Ah-Ha's!?
The key is here:[blueDog:~/Desktop] greghyde%
What these return messages are telling you is that these files are not present ON YOUR DESKTOP.
Now, why your shell is AT the desktop level is another question, but those files *should* be at ~
