Hi Patrick, I've been following this thread, but only a little bit. So let me apologize if this ignores something you've explained.
I suspect I am seeing some of the same difficulties that you are. Actually, nothing related to Evolution or KDE (my box can't inhibit auto-suspending under Enlightenment). Though - I do, only sometimes, get prompted to reenter my passwords for Evolution. Anyhow - here's some things I have discovered that might help: 1) gnome-session is a crucial piece of the puzzle. It starts up a whole bunch of things in the correct order so all of this freedesktop.org nonsense works. Rather than being a script like most Xsessions, it's a binary executable. I can't find any documentation which explain what key tasks it is doing, and I haven't looked at the source. 2) Minimal window managers like FVWM typically get installed with Xsessions which instruct GDM to handle session management. AFAICT, this uses gnome-session to start FVWM. This way, all the fdo stuff gets started, and then the other WM is run instead of Gnome. 3) Hacking up session files to run Enlightenment via gnome-session isn't enough to fix the problem. So I think there still some piece of the puzzle I'm missing. 4) Looking at pstree under Gnome and under Enlightenment hasn't shed much light on the situation. I can't see any processes that are missing. I am, at this point, confident that if I could convince gnome-session to start correctly, my issues would be fixed. KDE probably has something similar to gnome-session, and I bet figuring out how to make that do what you want is the key here too.
