On both FreeBSD and Solaris 2.6 it's one of those "sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't" things, with no apparent reason as to why. From what I can see, the session management isn't particularly good anyway, at the moment, so you might as well simply do a: panel exec window-manager-of-your-choice for now. Others using non-Linux platforms have also reported better success using windowmaker rather than enlightenment. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
