Check the ~/.xinitrc (or ~/.xsession or ~/.Xclients) for the user in
question. Make sure they don't start any other wms (stand alone or as
part of GNOME/KDE). If they do, comment out that line and put E in
instead. If E is working for root, look at root's .xinitrc and see if
you can use it as an example.
KDE and GNOME start their own window managers. If you want to use them,
it's best to start E first and then start your panels and file manager.
You can try changing the wm they load, but this can cause race
conditions and other problems.
If all else fails, your distro may have a system-wide configuration for
selecting a WM. Try running it or finding the file it uses (eg
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc).
