Re: Almost there!
If I recall correctly you can change the "exec gnome-session" to
"gnome-session &" and then add another line "exec enlightenment". This assumes
you have installed the enlightenment package. I am not sure if this is
currently the preferred window manager for GNOME, but it should work. YMMV.
