Can't open X session on RHEL 5.3 [3]

Hi

I'm using Xbrowser 2.0 to create an X session on a RHEL 5.3 system. I followed the instructions in the FAQ, and edited the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file:

[security]
AllowRemoteRoot=true
DisallowTCP=false

[xdmcp]
Enable=true

The FAQ mentions only the 'xdmcp' entry, but I've added the two other entries (having seen them on other system), in an attempt to make this work. But it's not working. I do see the RHEL 5.3 system name show up in Xbroswer. But when I double-click on the system name, a X session window flashes into existence, then disappears. I don't see any error messages in /var/log/messages on the host. Nor do I see any files in C:\Program files\NetSarang\Xmanager2 that could be log files.

What else can I check?

Thanks!

2. What is the language setting on the remote host.

3. Xmanager log file. Please follow the link below for the log file location:

Issue resolved after doing this:

1. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file to define GNOME as the X desktop environment that loads on connection.
1. Open the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file.
2. Locate the DESKTOP= entry. Note: The entry may need to be created and it is case sensitive.

Change this setting to: DESKTOP="GNOME"

3. Save the file.
