e and gnome

["Tri" <merlintm bellsouth net>]

Gnome doesn't seem to be detecting enlightenment in the control panal's
window manager tab. my .xinitrc looks like this

gnome-session&
/opt/enlightenment/bin/enlightenment
any ideas?

ALso gnome seems to be starting up real slow, and it is also taking a long
time to replace enlightenment's background with it's own.
