gdm not working after 8.1 updates

[Trev <tedlinux inet net nz>]

Hi,
I cannot login to gnome with gdm after putting in some MDK 8.1 updates
with Red Carpet, it only has default & failsafe listed, if i choose
default it loads KDE.
I changed to runlevel 3, run "startx gnome" but it starts IceWM.
I have only downloaded Red Carpet, Ximian Gnome will be next.

How do i get gdm working properly again ?

The updates I put in with Red Carpet caused the problem when i booted
next day.
