if you installed with the instructions above configure will use the default prefix, which is /usr/local. So all your e17 related files should have been installed in subdirectories of /usr/local/. So the enlightenment.desktop file should be in /usr/local/share/xsessions. GDM only picks up sessions in /usr/share/xsessions. What I do is create a symlink from /usr/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop to /usr/local/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop, that way you always pick up changes to the enlightenment desktop file. Another way is to install using ./autogen --datarootdir=/usr/share however I rather have all my e-related files in the same prefix.
