Windows Manager Question
 
I have Mandrake 9.1 and I want to run Gnome and Enlightment. I would prefer to run enlightment on top of gnome BUT when I go to the gnome control panel there is no setting to let me change the windows manager anywhere?!? Not even under advanced.

So, question #1:
How do I change my windows manager in Gnome to Enlightenment?

Right now I have gnome-panel starting up when I run enlightenment by editing the .xinitrc and .xsession files in my home directory. When the computer boots up it works fine BUT when I log out and go to the log in manager and then try to log back in with enlightenment it doesn't start with the scripts I discrbed above in my home directory because it doens't start the gnome-panel.

So, question #2:
What script does the log in managers run when you start your windows manager/desktop?

Thanks!

The Display Managers use xinitrc files like:

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.kde

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.gnome

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fbox

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.wmaker
