No, you shouldn't need one. However, you might want to
create a simple one to try to narrow down the problem. In
your home directory create the file .xinitrc and put the
following line in it:
exec gnome-session
This should override the system default startup scripts
and just start gnome.
Another thought, have you rebooted since your X server
crashed? Sometimes an X Server crash can leave the hardware
in a funny state.
