hi,

a couple of things i'd first suggest:

o have you installed all the available patches for redhat7 ? there are
  a number of fixes for various things.

  ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/redhat/updates/7.0/i386/

o you should check permissions on various things.  e.g does
  /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm actually exist ? is it root readable
  only ?  if you can't find it maybe you need to run

  cd /var ; find . -name packages-rpm -ls

i tend to recommend backing up data and config files and going a clean
install.  it tends to save a lot of grief.  you can also specify at
install time that you want KDE/GNOME so you don't have to install
packages separately.
