enlightenment...

hey, just used synaptic to install the enlightenment desktop manager but my questions is this: how do I boot into it? Do I somehow add it to the login screen (which I take to be gdm)? I am running sarge, so I have the default login screen/program. Where do I go from here?

I don't know about gdm, but on kdm there's a spot where you can choose the action you want, then you select login, then it will list the wm's you can login to. I'm assuming there's something similar on gdm

Same issue here. GDM does not list enlightenment as a choice, just kde and gnome. Any ideas?
Jaster, did you find a solution?

i installed Enlightenment via apt-get, and it was in GDM

I also installed it with apt-get (actually the Synaptic GUI), but no such luck for me. There's gotta be a config file somewhere that tells GDM what to put on that menu. I've enstalled icewm and fluxbox before and both of them automatically showed up. Anybody know where that config file is? I've checked /etc/X11/Xsessions and I think that has something to do with it, but it does not directly list the different options. Anybody know?

See my thread here for the answer.
