Installing XFree86 installs a /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc which probably
overwrote the choice of desktop environment your Linux distribution
set up. Your Linux distribution should have a script/app to reselect
the desktop environment. On redhat, I think this was called "switchdesk".
Failing that, you can always start the desktop enviroment explicitly
at the end of the xinitrc file.
