Hello,
I am using enlightenment-0.16.7-pre3 under Fedora Core 2, with Gnome
2.6. All in all, Enlightenment and Gnome seem to work together very
well. I was particularly pleased to see that the Gnome
workplace-switcher applet is aware of Enlightenment virtual desktops.
(This was not the case with e-0.16.6.) (The window-selector applet
however seems to be unaware of virtual desktops, not going to another
virtual desktop if that is where the window one selects is located.)
You must be missing something (libwnck?). E16.6 as well as E16.7 should
play nicely with GNOME-2.4 and 2.6, both with multiple and virtual
desktops.
Still, there are a few small problems. Most annoyingly, left-clicking on
the desktop does not produce the "User menus" menu. Instead, that menu
is the first menu to appear under the "Enlightenment" menu that one gets
if one clicks on the middle button while on the desktop. Similarly,
pushing the right mouse button on the desktop does not get you the
Enlightenment "Settings" menu, but the normal Gnome 2.6 menu one gets
with a right-click. (Like the "User menus" menu, the "Settings" menu
ends up in the main Enlightenment menu.)
Does anyone know how to make these menus appear in the usual way under
Gnome 2.6? (I tried WindowMaker, and left-clicking on the desktop led to
the normal WindowMaker behavior, so I don't think this is Gnome's
fault.)
I guess you have nautilus managing the background.
I also have a few other observations.
A capability that e-0.16.6 had seems to have disappeared with
e-0.16.7-pre3: "sticking" menus doesn't work; a "close" box never
appears on the menu when one releases the mouse button in the title bar.
Not sure what you mean here...
Also, the Enlightenment Document Viewer no longer displays "forward" and
"previous" buttons at the top (something it did in e-016.7-pre-3);
instead, the contents from another window is written in that area.
(These buttons are still there however, since the appropriate actions
are performed in the area where the buttons are supposed to be.)
There must be some problem with your E-installation or your libpng.
Finally, the Red Hat desktop switching tool doesn't seem to get some
required information from e. It produces the following error:

I'm no expert on this but I believe switchdesk is stupid and only knows
of some compiled-in desktop environtments, not including E.
