Freerock Gnome startx problems


After installing Freerock Gnome on a newly installed Slackware 10.2 system I select Gnome in the "xwmconfig" menu.
Then I enter startx and the Freerock Gnome splash appears. The first icon on the splash is displayed but suddenly another windowmanager, Enlightenment "takes over" and loads. If I uninstall enlightenment FWm is started instead.

Freerock is installed with packages download frow their site two hours ago from the current branch. I used the full-install, all packages in Freerock is installed.

Any ideas how to solve this?

I found out what was wrong.
Somehow the installation script forgot to install some packages:

metacity-2.12.0-i486-1frg
librsvg-2.12.0-i486-1frg
libwnck-2.12.0-i486-1frg
gnumeric-1.5.90-i486-1frg

Gnome now works beautifully
