What you are trying should work without running X at the console, but you might like the freenx/NX client even better. That gives you a complete remote X desktop with very good performance that you can disconnect and reconnect with everything still running. See www.nomachine.com for the client (linux/windows/mac) details but you can get freenx from the epel repo.
I would also recommend NX. CentOS supplies freenx/nx, no need to go to EPEL. :-)
You need to be somewhat careful these days about things that came from centos-testing or extras as some now also appear in epel with the same names and version number that aren't likely to be coordinated. I haven't seen anything actually break from this yet but have been surprised to see things originally installed from CentOS updating from EPEL.
