according to the gnome user's guide (which you can read on the web somewhere at
http://www.gnome.org) you have to set a WINDOW_MANAGER variable in your .bashrc or
.bash_profile. something like:

export WINDOW_MANAGER="/usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment"

(I believe its WINDOW_MANAGER, if not check the faq and gnome user's guide. i had it
working at one time til gnome died on me. my .xinitrc was simply exec gnome-session,
and i had the appropriate variable set for the window manager.)

hope  this helps.
