Ok, I checked some more things and the current situation is this: `startx` issued form the root's console puts me in root's GNOME `sudo startx` with suided XFree86 puts me in root's GNOME `sudo startx` without suided XFree86 stops at the gray screen It seems it's something with the access privileges, I just can't put my finger on it...
