Latest RPM Install Crashes

["Greg Kelley" <gkelley usnhdata unh edu>]

I have downloaded all required and optional files using
www.gnome.org/start/getting_rh.phtml as my guide.  All libraries and
applications installed under RPM with no problems.  I have started Gnome
using the session method in .Xclients and the system will randomly lock up
requiring a cold boot.  The mouse cursor still moves, but that's all.
Keyboard and mouse buttons are dead.

Using the Panel method in .Xclients to start Gnome will cause either a
system lockup, or the Pager to remove itself from the Panel and all
minimized running apps end up as square buttons on the desktop, or the Panel
itself simply disappears.

I'm running under RedHat 5.2 on a Dell Optiplex GX1 400mtbr+ with 6Gb HD
partitioned in two halves for Win95 and Linux.  I can provide peripherals
attached if necessary.  Thanks for any direction or ideas...
