Enlightenment problem

[Matthew J Dainty <madmatt bits bris ac uk>]

Hi, I'm new to the list, so I apologise if this has only recently been
discussed...

I've just finished installing gnome from the latest source packages, and
after a few X sessions, and myself tweaking my personal settings,
enlightenment now refuses to start. I just get the "checkerboard" backdrop
with gmc and the panel displayed.

A friend of mine recently did the same install a while ago, and I think
the only different packages were gnome-libs, mc, and a couple of the
ancilliary lib packages, and he hasn't had this problem.

I don't really want to drop back to an older version, but does anyone know
what the problem is?

All my configuration settings point to using enlightenment, BTW.

Thanks

Matt
