/etc/sysconfig/desktop was empty.
Or maybe the problem is that it existed. I have no such
file on my system and X is working fine.


Well, I have a pure Xfce VM and it starts fine with a non-existent desktop or 
empty desktop file.
I wonder if it would be different if I added a second desktop.  But, I'm not 
that itching to try it.  :-)

In either case, for a new clean install it's a mess.


I think the point is that you've fixed a problem by editing an empty file.  Yet 
an empty file or
a missing file doesn't cause a problem in all cases.

A mystery that may (will?) remain unsolved.  :-)

How to you start X ? from a terminal ? or the gdm ?


Mine is a normal Xfce install.  So, I don't start from the command line.  
lightdm is the default
display manager.


That's why there's no problem. I've removed rhgb from the kernel command line, so I start at the terminal. Then startx fails.
