Weird Desktop

I just installed Enlightenment and UDE. I was looking for something a little lighter and more unix-like. The installs seemed to go fine. No error messages or anything like that. Problem is that when I try to run them I get KDE instead. I can type 'startx enlightenment' or 'startx ude' but I still get KDE. The other windowmanagers that came with the distro (gnome and windowmaker) still start up just fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

You need to edit you .xinitrc or .xsession file. In there there should be a line that reads something like exec startkde. Hash it out and add a new line that runs your new desktop (you might want to use the whereis command).
