Please tell me that gnome-session does not automatically start E.
I've downloaded and installed much of gnome 1.0 but haven't tried
"gnome-session".  I thought gnome was supposed to be WM independent.
I run fvwm - nothing personal against E (or Raster)- I'm just used to
fvwm and I don't need all the eye candy that E provides - I'd rather
have my memory and CPU cycles going for the programs I'm running.

Is E now "hard-coded" into gnome-session?
