You are changing "/etc/inittab" and the line : "id:3:initdefault:" to "id:5:initdefault:". (Your initial post says that is what you are doing). That should work. (I'm fishing here). You are modifying and changing the file as "root"? Next time you change it, do a "more /etc/inittab" to make sure the save "took".

I run my system from run level 3, login, and then run "startx". When I want to log off I cntl-alt-backspace". You shouldn't run the X11 client as root, (X11 complains as you probably know).

Turn off selinux if the run level changes back to 3. In "/etc/selinux/config" change the line to SELINUX=permissive. I have heard that selinux can change certain system files back to previous versions.
