I have no objections. How about > edox-data-<blah>? I'm not particularly happy with that name myself. Ah yes, forgot about that one. I'd probably go for "enlightenment-docs" myself - that's what they are. The fact that they happen to be in edox format is by the by. > I have now included the winter theme with the WM.

These worked on RH9. For some reason I thought they didn't on FC1, but they do! Which is good. I was thinking they'd replaced the standard gdm session chooser with switchdesk, but in fact it's still there - only with its functionality to set a default session removed (instead it just tells you to run switchdesk after logging in). /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/ is definitely the recommended place for these .desktop files. It certainly works on FC1. The configuration for gdm actually allows you to specify a list of directories to check, so other places may work too. However, I would definitely recommend using this one as it's what's (supposedly) agreed between gdm and kdm. > /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.e-gnome: > -- > #!/bin/sh > export WINDOW_MANAGER=enlightenment > exec gnome-session > -- Yep, that's the easiest way to do it for gdm. (Though I just discovered WINDOW_MANAGER is ignored if you have a custom ~/.gnome2/session file - I created one over a year ago it seems... can't remember why now.) I've no idea what kdm does - I'll install that tomorrow and have a play. > It seems to me that it is not entirely straightforward where to put this > stuff. For the most part, no. I do think /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/ for the .desktop files is reasonably safe though. > How about I let it install into <datadir>/enlightenment/misc/. Sounds sensible.

Yes absolutely they can. I would go for including the Xclients.e-gnome script (as you gave above), the enlightenment.desktop file I posted previously, and the e-gnome.desktop you gave. The only other thing general enough to work cross-distro is a simple "exec /usr/bin/enlightenment" which I don't think is worth the effort.
