Yes! Pricesely so!. You are the winner of my eternal recognition!! :-)
I missed to enter the right search arguments in Google ...
For the benefit of others that may get here with the same problem,
I will adjust the description: the delay in the starting of GNOME is
exactly 2 minutes, 120 seconds. This is more precise than "long time"
and "forever".
The line:
export WINDOW_MANAGER=e16
is enough if /usr/local/bin is the PATH. That is usually the case.
That goes instead of the line:
export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/local/bin/e16
which I wrote before.
There must be some other, per-user setting of this line, rather than
setting it in the all-users file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common
Is the per-user xinitrc, $HOME/.xinitrc the right place for that?
(I don't have one).
Thank you so much! Send me your JPEG to use as wall paper :-)

Hi list!
I compiled and installed e16 in my FC5 box. After looking around (was
unable
to find specific documentation) about how to have GNOME work with
Enlightenment DR16 instead of Metacity, I decided to add this line to
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common:
export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/local/bin/e16
and e16 is indeed activated. Sofarsogood.
I confirmed that this is the "official" way to have e16 started looking at
the (I believe undocumented) script /usr/local/bin/starte16.
The main reason I wanted to use E instead of metacity is that ability to
move
windows from desktop to desktop, the ability to switch between desktops by
just driving the pointer past the current desktop border and some other
cool
E features.
The problem is: GNOME takes about 3 minutes to show the desktop.
With the default Metacity, GNOME's desktop shows instantly.
There isn't here any problem of resources lacking. This is a fast machine:
a Pentium dual-core 930 @ 3.2GHz (overclocked to ~3.5) on 2 GB of
PC2-5400 667MHZ DDR2 ECC memory. Not my grandma's machine.
It just takes GNOME forever to start. I tried to find the file
.xsession-errors
mentioned in some GNOME postings, but I don't have one. So I have no clue
where to look for GNOME's logs/errors or how to tell GNOME to start
logging,
if it isn't. Likewise Enlightenment logs.
Do you have some insight about what I can do to fix this, or otherwise
advise me what to do to log enough information as to find what the problem
is?
Eternal recognition will be granted for your help!! I will even set your
photo as my desktop wallpaper.
I think this is the problem (and the solution):
