Hit the return key, instead of the backspace submitted form prematurely...

Description of problem:
When I switched desktops from Gnome to fvwm, and then attempted to log
in from the graphical greeter, I failed to log in because of: 
"/home/steve/.Xclients:  line 8:  /home/steve/.Xclients-default: no
such file or directory".  When I switched runlevel from 5 to 3, logged
in, and then ran startx, I got a quick message that it was creating
the necessary files, and proceeded to start properly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum check-update showed up to date as of 12Aug04

How reproducible:
Happened every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install fc1, yum -y update, install fvwm, fvwm-themes
2. Via switchdesk on gnome panel, select fvwm
3. In runlevel 5, always fails to start with indicated error.  In
runlevel 3, via startx, always works.
4. switch runlevel back to 5, and it still fails.
  
Actual results:
See error message above.

Expected results:
Enter X as appropriate.
