I'm new to RH8.0.
I enjoyed using Enlightenment since RH7.3, now I've installed RH8.0. But and enlightenment.
I tried putting
exec /usr/bin/enlightenment
in .xsession
and also
enlightenment
in .xinitrc
But when I run default windows manager, it still goes into either GNOME or KDE.
Please help.
did you try changing it with the 'desktop switching' utility in X? I believe it is 'switchdesk' under Gnome.

I solved it.
Have to chage the Xclients in
/etc/X11/xinit
PREFERRED=
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/desktop
if [ "$DESKTOP" = "GNOME" ]; then
PREFERRED=gnome-session
elif [ "$DESKTOP" = "KDE" ]; then
PREFERRED=startkde
elif [ "$DESKTOP" = "ENLIGHTENMENT" ]; then
PREFERRED=/usr/bin/enlightenment
elif [ "$DESKTOP" = "WINDOWMAKER" ]; then
PREFERRED=wmaker
fi
fi

Enlightenment is nothing like MacOS though. Anyway what other window manager would you suggest? I like enlightenment because it's got a cool virtual desktop system.
