HELP: Cannot login to Gnome after language switch in FC2Test2

[Robert La Ferla]

Help.  I can't login via the GUI and I really don't want to re-install. 
  What can I do?

I am running Fedora Core 2 Test 2 with English and Japanese installed.  
While logged in as "root", I tried switching the language from English 
to Japanese.  It said that I had to restart the window server or 
something so I logged out and logged back in.  After login, the "window 
manager" icon displayed but it never got past that point or just to a 
blank screen with the mouse pointer.  I tried logging in as a different 
user and it had the same results.  I was, however, able to login via a 
text console.  I'm not sure what log files I should look at to figure 
out what is going on.  I think the problem has to do with the language 
switch but I was also playing around with ALSA and Xine.

Thanks in advance!
