This is what happened I did startx when in SU (meaning when I was in root) then I went to the configuration center, from there I went to the system tab and selected display manager. Then I changed my login screen to the GNOME theme, it asked me if I wanted to do this and would have to restart X if I did, I selected ok. Unfortunatley the channel :0 wasn't able to load it so this new screen prompted me if I wanted to create another server channel, I said ok and then the survey came up and after that everything worked!!!!
