The answer to your origanal post is in the archives, its been asked many
times before.
Just copy (as root) all relative files to your users directorys, and
change permissions accordingly.

I just installed redhat-6.2 (its not running so i can say in which menu it
is) but simply clicking on the gnome menu and looking thro' its sub menu's
will show something like 'cfg filrewall', as to how it works i dont know.
For the default GUI use;
/etc/sysconfig/desktop
Have one word in it;
GNOME
Or
KDE
etc
etc.
Upon stating x with say startx, the file /etc/X11/prefdm is called,
# Run preferred X display manager
preferred=
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
if grep -q GNOME /etc/sysconfig/desktop 2>/dev/null; then
preferred=gdm
elif grep -q KDE /etc/sysconfig/desktop 2> /dev/null; then
preferred=kdm
elif grep -q AnotherLevel /etc/sysconfig/desktop 2> /dev/null; then
preferred=xdm
fi
Note, it looks for upper case not lower case, so use upper case in
/etc/sysconfig/desktop.

Yes it does matter as redhat does it differently to systems like slackware
which dont use sysvinit scripts.
