You left out the details of what you actually did.  Should we guess?  :)

My guess is: you ran "startx".  That starts a session as the user that 
runs "startx"

Instead, you should be booting the graphical target (edit /etc/inittab 
to change the default on C6; use "systemctl set-default 
graphical.target" on C7).  You can select what session you'd like to run 
from the login screen, before you enter your password.

In the future, please be specific about what you've done when asking 
what you've done wrong.  :)
