You should be able to start e16 with "/usr/local/e16/bin/e16". It should
also be possible to use "/usr/local/e16/bin/starte16", but the script
expects that the path to e16 is in PATH.
If you use a display manager, e.g. gdm, you would normally be able to
select e16 as session type because e16.desktop is installed in
/usr/share/xsessions/. However, if you install with prefix /usr/local/e16,
e16.desktop is installed in /usr/local/e16/share/xsessions/, and gdm will
not find it.
