X freezes on startup

I just did a fresh install of Fedora 9, went through all the updates, installed ISPConfig and ColdFusion 8 and after restarting the system, when I have it set to runlevel 5, as it boots to the login screen, I see the background, a blank bar on the bottom of the screen and no more login prompt.

If I change to runlevel 3 and login as a user and run 'startx', the window system starts and I get my bottom task bar, all desktop icons are clickable, but the top bar that has the time and all the applications is completely frozen. I am using Gnome.

Is there something I could uninstall and reinstall to maybe fix this issue? Everything work great up until I configured my system for ISPConfig and ColdFusion 8.

It looks like Coldfusion is the thing causing the issue. I formatted and installed Fedora 8, reinstalled ISPConfig and didn't have any issues. I installed Coldfusion 8, remotely rebooted my computer from work, got home and there was a black background and a cursor with the blue icon spinning around it like it's busy. It was t the step right before login.

I'm not sure what else to do that would maybe fix that. Gnome is my window system. How could I switch to KDE or a different system to see if it's related?
