I found my problem. In addition to changing the hostname in /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network, I also used the hostname command to set the hostname. That's what made X mad. I don't understand why though. Questions: 1. What files, if any, does the hostname command write to? I couldn't find any it wrote to. 2. What programs, if any, look at the information the hostname command gives? 3. When would you want to use the hostname command?
