I've never tried Joe's way, but this worked for me:
Fire up gconf-editor and go to /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/ 
and change "default" and "current" to match the path of enlightenment, which 
would usually be something like /usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment .

phobia of crowding people's inboxes...  Almost as if they were gonna send 
the mob on me or something...)
