Try renaming .kde directory to say .kde1. Similarly rename .gnome ane 
.gnome-private to another name quit X. Set the window manager as KDE as start 
X. Once KDE works properly try GNOME.  Obviously, you'll have to redo the 
configuration of your KDE and GNOME environment. 

As root user, I always faced problems with GNOME-Enlightnment/twm etc. As 
normal user it did work without much problems.

Give it a try ! 
Good Luck
