Guest vs77 Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 In the previous release (9.0) I included the line WINDOW_MANAGER=enlightenment in /usr/bin/gnome-wm to make enlightenment work with gnome. But in the latest release this sometimes works and sometimes does not. I even tried export WINDOW_MANAGER=enlightenment in the .bash_profile and had no luck.

Guest vs77 Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 I tried different things to try make E play with gnome. If you add the line "WINDOW_MANAGER=enlightenment" (without quotes) in the /usr/bin/gnome-wm file it seems to work. There are a couple of problems that I have noticed or maybe just on my Laptop : 1. It does not work for the root login 2. this works for user a/c created after installation and not during post installation Other than that this seems to work fine and so far I have not had any problems using Enlightenment with gnome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
