Re: Enlightenment problems

[Ben Rockwood <benr slip net>]

What does you .xinitrc (etc) look like?  You need to start
E before you start GNOME (my opinion anyway).  Once E is
running then you kick in all the GNOME goodies.  So, as
a test, you may want to get rid of .Xclient and .xsession
and edit a fresh .xinitrc reading simply:
 	exec enlightenment
See what happens.  (well, just edit the one you've got keeping
a back up.)  You also may want to copy your .xinitrc into
a message and post it to us so we can see.

  What version of E and GNOME are you using?
