I ran into a similar problem with gnome as it wants to fire up the
Enlightenment WM when it is installed. I really do not want that to
happen. So, what I did was (using the Enlightment configurator for
Gnome) went in and selected the IceWM-Gnome window manager and set the
other defaults to what I wanted. I really don't know why this worked but
it did! I now have a great desktop that is completely integrated as it
uses both IceWM and Gnome session panel (at the top) so that I have all
of the options available from both. aparantly these are both being
managed by enlightenment. Wierd Huh!
