Hi Justin,
Personally, I prefer to use runlevel 3, and then add
startx
logout
either to the default .bash_profile or an individual user's .bash_profile.
If your user will be telneting in, you will have to put in a test to not do
this unless they are on an X console. Users who want to have the option
of command line can comment these lines out. If you are running RedHat 5+,
the file /home/.wm_style determines which wm is invoked. I have a modified
version of /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients which recognizes all the usual ones, plus
KDE, enlightenment, and xfce. You can pick it up at:
