Hello:

I am running SuSE 9.3 Professional on my system and have a very stable KDE 3.4 and whatever is the standard Window Manager running. In an attempt to shorten what would be a rather lengthy story, I use a Macintosh running Tiger (OS X 10.4.2) day to day but always liked Linux and had another box running and SuSE installed for me relatively easily so I am running it.

I was looking at the new Enlightenment (anything newer than 2000 is new to me in Linux) and decided that I would like to use that WIndow Manager. I currently don't believe I am using any KDE apps really (though I do use the graphical file manager quite a bit), so I would like obtain the functionality, but overall get out of KDE and try out Enlightenment. Here is, of course, where the mac functionality comes in: It appears they operate off the dock like my beloved OS X and that is what really attracts me to Enlightenment.

How to switch to that Window Manager would be helpful. If I decide I like Enlightenment better I would then perhaps move to un-install KDE, but retain the libraries in case there is a App that needs it.

Advice and help here is appreciated.

"How to switch to that Window Manager would be helpful."

Since you already have Enlightment installed I think that you only have to tell YaST to make Enlightment your default window manager. Start Yast. Click on System. Click on Desktop. Click on DEFAULT_WM. Click on the down arrow and select one of the installed window managers as your default window manager.

I actually solved this question.. thanks

That was rude not to provide your solution here. What is the purpose of a thread when no resolution is shared. You wanted help why not share what you learned as you were asking of others?
