Hmm, I have no idea about the partition problem - sounds odd...
The X / Gnome problem might be fixable - I'm definitely not an X-pert (haw haw), but Redhat does bundle a program called "switchdesk", that runs in X and allows you to, well, switch your desktop. It sounds like you're in twm, a very simple window manager.
Also, when Gnome does come up without proper icons, it could be that either you don't have the proper Gnome config, or possibly that you haven't installed the complete package and extras (like icons, applications, etc).
Hope this helps...
