gnome is an enviornment, a set of programs and libraries to make a graphical enviornment, it does not manage windows by itself, enlightnement is a window manager, typically the default that runs with GNOME on most systems, but you can use another window manager afterstep, kde(which uses kwm as the window manager, KDE is also a enviornment for developers/users), windowmaker, xfce etc.. you can't run the gnome enviornment with all windowmanagers some are not (fully/at all) compadible with each other(either 'gnome compliant or 'kde compliant'), i use afterstep(www.afterstep.org) for my windowmanager of choice. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 9:20am up 182 days, 21:38, 1 user, load average: 1.35, 1.13, 1.09
