Ok, I checked some more things and the current situation is this:
`startx` issued form the root's console puts me in root's GNOME
`sudo startx` with suided XFree86 puts me in root's GNOME
`sudo startx` without suided XFree86 stops at the gray screen
It seems it's something with the access
privileges, I just can't put my finger on it...
