Problems launching Gnome as root or su

["Ian Geldard" <igeldard capital demon co uk>]

I can launch Gnome when logged in as igeldard - my non-root 
account, but It doesn't work as root, or after using su.  

I have noticed an error message on my console screen when I 
logout.

"rm: cannot remove 'home/igeldard/.gnome//gmc-[random 
characters]' No such file or directory"  

If I try switching and then logout, I see another message:

"WARNING: You selected WindowMaker as your window 
manager, but your installation of WindowMaker does not appear 
to be functional. Either /usr/X11R6/bin/WindowMaker was not 
found or /usr/share/WindowMaker directory is missing.  

Resuming with Fvwm2 (95 look)"

So I tried installing WindowMaker. I found it on my CD as 

WindowMaker-0.52.0-2.i386.i386.rpm

But when I tried to install it, it reported failed dependencies

"libPropList is needed"

Any ideas?
