questions about e+gnome

[m4tt]

Hi,
I'm pretty much an Xwin newbie, and I've been experimenting with various WMs..
I want to switch from KDE but enlightenment by itself is kind of cruddy, and I was wondering how people got gnome+e working?

Simply get gnome to start by making a file called .xinitrc in your home directory on the commmand line with a text editor

for example:
emacs /home/username/.xinitrc

then add these lines to it

#!/bin/sh
exec gnome-session

then save it using f10 + f + s , and then exit using f10 + f + e

make this file executable by doing this

chmod 755 /home/username/.xinitrc

then you simply type startx, you will see gnome botting up. Then if enlightenment isnt already the default window manager, you right click on the gnome desktop, go to "configure background image" and then when that loads select window manager. If enlightenment is there then select it and click ok. It should load and then gnome will remeber this is your default. If it is not in the list, add it by clicking add on the bar to the right, and then type in your details about where you enlightenment is, most likely this will be at /usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment or /usr/local/enlightenment/enlightenment. Possibly just putting "enlightement" as the command with out quotes will work.

Hope this helps

Thanks,
Few more questions, whats the latest stable version of gnome, and what version of gnome does slack 7.1 come with?
Also, what is Healix Gnome?
