Well, I had Enlightenment working properly with Gnome, but recently I 
suddenly lost my gnome icon bar from within enlightenment. I 
modified .xinitrc and .xsession to load only gnome without enlightment 
at which point when I "startx" X-Windows locks up hard and can only be 
exited with Ctrl+Alt+F1.

Unfortunately enlightenment completely usurps anything else as 
windowmanager.
