Well, it seems that I have some misconfiguration, because it still won't start.
I did the yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
It took awhile but completed successfully.
When I run startx it still fails:
[root@localhost ed]# startx
hostname: Unknown host
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.4153

Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0'
[root@localhost ed]# The program 'gnome-panel' received an X
Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was '244'.
(Details: serial 27452 error_code 244 request_code 127 minor_code 184)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to
change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
You can not run beagle as root. Beagle is designed to run from your own
user account. If you want to create multiuser or system-wide indexes, use
the beagle-build-index tool.
You can override this setting using the beagle-config or beagle-settings tools.
The application 'nm-applet' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
