When i start up Enlightenment from Gnome, it's blank. There are no icons/buttons/widgets of any kind. The only way to logout is the Ctr/Alt/Backspace method. Yes i havent got my sound configured yet but that should'nt result in these state of affairs. Is there something I'm doing wrong or i need to install? I've already checked Enlightenment.org but nothing on this. I Guess it's pretty elementary :-), but i do need help here.

Have you managed to get enlightenment and gnome working ever? The reason I ask is that I had difficulties the first few times getting things going. When I first tried using the window manager capplet in gnome it wouldnot fully initialize enlightenment at all. I was left like you with no window manager. Try this. Comment on the statement which says exec gnome-session in your .xinitrc and put in as the last line exec enlightenment. Now start enlightenment. The gnome-session thing shouldnot start now. Now start the panel by typing in an xterm panel &. This should start the gnome panel. Now look at the window manager capplet on the panel and see whats selected. If it says something other than enlightenment, select enlightenment. It may dive bomb you to the console or switch you. You may have to do this a few times. The main thing you will want to do is be able to shutdown cleanly. Now you can re-edit .xinitrc and put back in exec gnome-session. These are the steps I have had to do or pretty close. -- Michael Perry mperry@basin.com ---------------------- -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
