Even if it's commented out, I don't think you have to uncomment it unless
the actual value is different. IMO, once the X server reads the type of
card, it uses the default memory that is present in it's database
corresponding to that card. Yiou need to uncomment it only if the actual
value is different, in which case, it uses the value you supply.
Am I correct?

You could also try this. Add the following lines to
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients (you can make out where to add it .. in a
"similar" place)
*****
enlightenment | Enlightenment | E)
exec /usr/bin/enlightenment
;;
gnome | Gnome)
exec /usr/bin/gnome-session
;;
KDE | Kde | kde)
exec /opt/kde/bin/startkde
;;
*****
This comes b4 the "esac .. fi" lines.
Now , whenever you want to use any of the WMs, just change one word in
your $HOME/.wm_style (to any one of the strings like "E", or
"enlightenment" or "KDE" etc.), and the next time you start X, you have
your WM of choice! Also, .wm_style might not exist, so create it.
Of course, please do check the paths.
cheerio!
