I have figured out that if I put :
DEFAULT_X_SESSION=/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession
in node.conf, then custom/default gives me a properly working desktop.
I'm still using the RPM compiled from your SRPM from Feb/Mar though
(produced under FC5T2) so beware.
I took a look at what those scripts all do and it reminds me of that old
game 'zork'. A twisty maze of little passages, all alike...
