Hi
Is anybody using Enlightenment with Fedora Core 2?
I'd like to know how one gets it to start clean without the old desktop?
Cheers
Pete

Install Enlightenment RPM (enlightenment-0.16.7.1-1.fc2)
Type (as your user)
switchdesk enlightenment
Log out and in.

Not sure what you are saying here. Switchdesk will create 2 files for you in your home directory. Like so
[gregw@charon gregw]$ cat /home/gregw/.Xclients #! /bin/bash
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
if [ -e "$HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY" ]; then exec $HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY else exec $HOME/.Xclients-default fi
[gregw@charon gregw]$ cat /home/gregw/.Xclients-default #!/bin/bash # (c) 2000 Red Hat, Inc.
exec /usr/bin/enlightenment
Enlightenment runs completely without GNOME. If you still want to run GNOME and use enlightement as the windows manager then that is another matter.

His problem is that nautilus is taking over the desktop. He needs to kill all nautilus and restart E.

I am not too sure whether gconf has this, but you can do a 'ps ax' and look for the Nautilus stuff to kill.

When E starts up the Gnome background and desktop icons are still there and the E theme is messed up like something is running over the to or at the same time,.. it's almost like Gnome is not releasing or swaping out totaly normaly when I load E it loads it own default desktop and background at hit point desktop I have in Gnome is still there trying to over write what eve E is loading.
if it's ok I can attach a wee screen shot,. say 640x480 so you can see not sure the group allows that tho

Feel free to mail me off list, and I'll post it to a website and put a link to it here.
There are a very vocal group that wouldn't appreciate that attachment (for better or for worse).

OK, we are not on the same page here. GNOME is a desktop environment and Enlightenment a window manager. How did you get GNOME to run by launching enlightenment?
Did you run switchdesk? What does your ~/.Xclients-default look like? Did you log out of GNOME and then log back in?
Running enlightenment whilst GNOME is running will only replace the current window manager (metacity) and not the desktop environemnt GNOME.

When I go to the switcher and select Enlightenment and log back in the gnome desktop is still trying to run Is Nautilus an shell like explorer is in windoz,.. I'm thinking if this is so then the Gnome desktop icons and background etc are in simple terms a copy of Nautilus in some form
