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]
