so would it be correct to assume you are bypassing entrance & starting
englightenment from gdm?
Yeps directly from GDM.
On my FC5 install the switch desktop tool doesnt do the job for
enlightenment, although it seems to see it.
I would imagine that moving the pieces of X around in xorg 7 (moving it
to to /usr/bin) will screw up more than several things.
just type:
switchdesk enlightenment
assuming that you have the package:
switchdesk-4.0.8-4 installed.
It should work. Or else edit the files ~/.Xclients and
~/.Xclients-default manually. You should
alter the WMPATH to /usr/local in your case. :)
([EMAIL PROTECTED]:~)$ cat ~/.Xclients-default
#!/bin/bash
# (c) 2000 Red Hat, Inc.
WM="enlightenment"
WMPATH="/usr/bin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin"
for p in $WMPATH ; do
[ -x $p/$WM ] && exec $p/$WM
done
exit 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
([EMAIL PROTECTED]:~)$ cat ~/.Xclients
#! /bin/bash
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
if [ -e "$HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY" ]; then
exec $HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY
else
exec $HOME/.Xclients-default
fi

Didier -
attempting to switch desktops as you suggest (logged in a usr) I get:
=======
Red Hat Linux switchdesk 4.0
Copyright (C) 1999-2004 Red Hat, Inc
Redistributable under the terms of the GNU General Public License
ERROR: Enlightenment is not installed on your machine! to install
Enlightenment, please type
yum install "enlightenment"
=======
I have /usr/local/bin in my path & I do have enlightenment installed.
Edit manually the ~/.Xclients-default and replace the actual WMPATH
(if any) with:
WMPATH="/usr/local/bin"
You have to ensure that you ~/.Xclients point to ~/.Xclients-default.

Didier -
Found the problem. I had a value set for DISPLAYMANAGER in
/etc/sysconfig/desktop file. Once this was commented out I was able to
get enlightenment to start using gdm following the rest of your advice
in this thread.
I suppose this should be on the users list but it does high-lite an
issue with entrance for Fedora Core 5 & its use of xorg 7.
-thanks for help
