+Using e16 with GNOME
+--------------------
+(Using Fedora Core 4, may be pertinent to other distributions as well).
+
+The GNOME desktop can be started using e16 as WM with:
+
+$ export WINDOW_MANAGER=e16
+$ gnome-sesssion
+
+Alternatively, add a GNOME/e16 session entry to the display manager login:
+# cp /usr/share/e16/misc/e-gnome.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/
+
+However, somewhere along the way the script /usr/bin/gnome-wm is called.
+This is supposed to handle differences in all the different WM's out there,
+but does not know of "e16". This will cause a major delay when starting up
+the GNOME desktop.
+One way to fix this is to use gnome-session-properties to get rid of
+the "gnome-wm" session entry.
+Another is to apply this patch to /usr/bin/gnome-wm:

+Using e16 with KDE
+------------------
+(Using Fedora Core 4, may work with other distributions as well).
+
+The KDE desktop can be started using e16 as WM with:

+Alternatively, add a KDE/e16 session entry to the display manager login:
