I'm trying to configure entrance to allow me to fire up E16 or E17 (or kde or gnome for that matter) by selecting from the chooser on the login screen, but can't figure out what order things are executed in.
Don't you love it when you answer your own question?
First, edit /etc/entrance_config.db using one of the edb_* tools in the E17 bin directory. There are /entrance/session/[0-9]/[icon,session,title] keys for each window manager. Just add or edit one of them to include E16. Make the "session" values unique, ie "E16" or "E17".
Entrance passes the wm you select from the login screen as a parameter to /etc/X11/Xsession. Xsession then runs /usr/sbin/chksession to find an appropriate file in /etc/X11/wmsession.d; ie, "04E16". The "NAME=" value in the file must match the one you set up in entrance_config.db. It then runs the "exec" command in that file to start the wm. You can check your work with "chksession -l" or "chksession -x=[value]"
If you move things around you might need to remove your ~/.e16 dir and rebuild it after e starts up.
This is under mandrake, but probably more or less the same for other distros.
