Put the line in your .xinitrc, which is a file in your home directory.

This if you are "benjamin" user on your system, your home directory is 
/home/benjamin and your .xinitrc file in /home/benjamin ought to have
something like this:

[begin inserted file]

#!/bin/sh
# Window Maker default X session startup script 

PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin"
imwheel -k

# Added by Mike to allow others to connect to this X server

xhost +127.0.0.1

# If you login from xdm, uncomment this to make error messages appear
# in the console window.
#
# tail -f /root/.xsession-errors > /dev/console
exec /usr/local/enlightenment/bin/enlightenment

[end inserted file]
