Enlightenment not present in sessions menu!


I installed enlightenment (e16) and imlib from linuxpackages.net but it doesn't appear in my sessions menue in KDE login manager.
I did searched Google and I made /usr/share/xsessions/e.16.desktop executable but it didn't work.
What should I do?
Thanks

I followed the instructions. The file enlightenment desktop was there, but it didn't work.
Plus when I type "enlightenment" in a terminal it says command not found. When I type e16 a message appears saying: "Another window manager is running. Please exit it to use Enlightenment"

Create a symlink called enlinghtenment to e16. I think, this way:
Code:
cd /usr/bin
ln -s e16 enlightenment
Leave XWindows (come back to console) before starting enlightenment.
