GNOME is a desktop environment and Enlightenment a window manager. How did you get GNOME to run by launching enlightenment? Did you run switchdesk? What does your ~/.Xclients-default look like? Did you log out of GNOME and then log back in? Running enlightenment whilst GNOME is running will only replace the current window manager (metacity) and not the desktop environemnt GNOME. -- Greg
