Ok, I've managed to get it working, but I still consider this a bug, so
you can choose to do what you want with it. Let me explain, so maybe my
information will assist you.
As I previously explained, when I would choose "E16-GNOME" from the
session menu and log in, I would only get Gnome (and no
E16/enlightenment). So I removed all my configuration files and found
out it would work. So began copying things back one at a time, in a
tedious, process-of-elimination fashion. In the end, if I kept my
previous ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session directory in place, it would not
work. But if I removed ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session, it worked fine.
Here's the contents of the "offending" files. I have no clue this would
keep E16 from starting up, but it does:
# ls -l ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/session
total 4
-rw------- 1 mike mike 0 2009-01-28 00:18 %gconf.xml
drwx------ 2 mike mike 4096 2009-04-24 22:50 required_components
# cd required_components/
# ls -l
total 4
-rw------- 1 mike mike 178 2009-01-28 00:26 %gconf.xml
# cat %gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="windowmanager" mtime="1233120310" type="string">
<stringvalue>metacity</stringvalue>
</entry>
</gconf>
I see it mentions metacity here, which is strange, since I've always
used e16-gnome since I first loaded Ubuntu 8.10.
Anyway, hope this helps.
-Mike
