Both work cleanly, and I can select either XFCE or Enlightenment from the GDM menu. (The other available DEs are not installed.) The only thing I have to change when I install a new version of Fedora is to make a symlink from /usr/share/xsessions to /opt/Enlightenment/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop. (Obviously, I have Enlightenment installed in /opt/Enlightenment.) FWIW, here's my enlightenment.desktop file: -------------->%====== (SNIP!) ======%<-------------- [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Enlightenment Name[ru]=Enlightenment Name[el]=Enlightenment Name[eo]=Enlightenment Name[tr]=Enlightenment Comment=Log in using Enlightenment (Version 0.16.999.75063) Comment[ru]=Войти используя Enlightenment (Версия 0.16.999.75063) Comment[el]=Είσοδος με το Enlightenment (Έκδοση 0.16.999.75063) Comment[eo]=Ensaluti pere de Enlightenment (Versio 0.16.999.75063) Comment[fr]=Ouvrir une session Enlightenment (Version 0.16.999.75063) Comment[it]=Accedi con Enlightenment (Versione 0.16.999.75063) Comment[pt]=Inicie a sessão com o Enlightenment (Versão 0.16.999.75063) Comment[tr]=Enlightenment kullanarak giriş yaın (Version 0.16.999.75063) Comment[ko]=Enlightenment 로그인(버전 0.16.999.75063) Type=XSession Icon=/opt/Enlightenment/share/enlightenment/data/images/enlightenment.png Exec=/opt/Enlightenment/bin/enlightenment_start TryExec=/opt/Enlightenment/bin/enlightenment_start ==============>%------ (UNSNIP!) ------%<============== (Yes, I'm a bit behind the times. :-) I'll be rebuilding E17 soon.) As you can see, my TryExec and Exec lines both reference an absolute path to enlightenment_start. Why it's not working for you, I really don't know. My suggestion would be to nuke your copy of E17, then go through your system and make sure there are no leftover bits from earlier builds floating around. (I remember having no end of trouble with E16 when I had files in the worng places. Once I cleaned things up, it Just Worked.) Once that's done, rebuild from the ground up. Anyway, I hope this helps, at least a little. --Dale -- "Don't touch that dial! You're tuned to The Commercial Channel! All commercials, all the time!
