Missing fi.  Looks like the missing fi causes the problem when the user
has not used switchdesk to define a desktop.

Quoting from bugzilla:

I had this problem also. It appears to be caused by modifications to
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients that resulted in a syntax error. More
specifically, a "fi" is missing in the first if block:

PREFERRED=
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
    . /etc/sysconfig/desktop
    if [ "$DESKTOP" = "GNOME" ]; then
	PREFERRED=gnome-session
    elif [ "$DESKTOP" = "KDE" ]; then
	PREFERRED=startkde
+   fi          <--------------------------
fi
