Hi list! I compiled and installed e16 in my FC5 box. After looking around (was unable to find specific documentation) about how to have GNOME work with Enlightenment DR16 instead of Metacity, I decided to add this line to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common: export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/local/bin/e16 and e16 is indeed activated. Sofarsogood.
I confirmed that this is the "official" way to have e16 started looking at the (I believe undocumented) script /usr/local/bin/starte16. The main reason I wanted to use E instead of metacity is that ability to move windows from desktop to desktop, the ability to switch between desktops by just driving the pointer past the current desktop border and some other cool E features. The problem is: GNOME takes about 3 minutes to show the desktop. With the default Metacity, GNOME's desktop shows instantly. There isn't here any problem of resources lacking. This is a fast machine: a Pentium dual-core 930 @ 3.2GHz (overclocked to ~3.5) on 2 GB of PC2-5400 667MHZ DDR2 ECC memory. Not my grandma's machine. It just takes GNOME forever to start. I tried to find the file .xsession-errors mentioned in some GNOME postings, but I don't have one. So I have no clue where to look for GNOME's logs/errors or how to tell GNOME to start logging, if it isn't. Likewise Enlightenment logs. Do you have some insight about what I can do to fix this, or otherwise advise me what to do to log enough information as to find what the problem is? Eternal recognition will be granted for your help!! I will even set your photo as my desktop wallpaper.
