Starting of gnome and enlightenment on Redhat

[Pathbreaker <pathbreaker earthling net>]

Hi
	This is probably a silly question but even after reading the faq which
specifically mentions this, I've been unable to solve this problem. 
	I'm running Redhat linux 5.2 on an intel pentium. I downloaded the latest
complete Rpm set of gnome with enlightenment. I've installed this recently. 

1) I now decided to install the rpm's and so I did rpm -Uvh *.rpm in the
directory containing the gnome rpms.

Several errors occured.

A possible reason for this is that I ran this from an xterm rather than
from a shell after exiting X. 

1) It installed the packages but mentioned that it was unable to delete the
directory named glint. Sure enough afte the installation glint itself had
dissapeared. (is this normal?). It had been replaced by gnoRPM.

2) I had been running xdm prior to the installation. My windowmaker was
afterstep. Without reading the docs, I just typed in gnome-session. It ran.
Enlightenment tried to start up and said that it could not because there
was another window manager running. It said that it would edit my config
file to start Enlightenment automatically on start up. When I quit and
restart, Enlightenment did not start up.(This was through xdm). I then
changed my runlevel back to 3. Now enlightenment started on restarting x.
	Gnome did not start automatically. So I manually started it. I noticed
that in the absence of gnome I was unable to quit enlightenment( is this
normal?).
	I then modified my .xinitrc and .xsession as mentioned in the faq. 
I made it 

enlightenment &
exec gnome-session

When I restarted X, enlightenment started and again gave me the message
that there was another window manager running. But there was no other
windowmanager.

When I changed the files to just

exec gnome-session,  no window manager started at all.

So, now I'm planning to reinstall linux, and then gnome again. After
installing gnome. What are the steps I should take so that when I run
startx I get gnome running with enlightenment, without the errors.
