so ... how do i get a graphical boot?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i realize that the graphical boot has been discussed on numerous
occasions, but frankly, i've never seen one on my system (currently
running FC3).  how do i get one?  (at the moment, i see the standard
line-oriented boot i've seen for years).

  i've verified that /etc/sysconfig/init contains

    BOOTUP=color
    GRAPHICAL=yes

  i've perused /etc/rc.sysinit and the conditions look like they'd be
satisfied.  /usr/bin/rhgb is there.  the file /proc/cmdline does not
contain the string "nogui". so what am i missing?

  i figured it would be nice to see this graphical boot thingie at
least once.
