Re: Gnome 2 and E

[Paul Johnson <pauljohn ku edu>]

E 16.6 pre 4 works great with gnome 2. Install the RPM you can download 
from www.englightnment.org if you use RedHat.  I use E's desktop 
backgound setting ability. Virtual desktop perfectly supported.  I don't 
know what you mean  saying E does not conform to the open WM standard. 
E is about the only thing that does, except for metacity and sawfish.
I mean to say, E is about the only  pretty WM that does.
