% sudo fink install sawfish bundle-gnome gimp
This will grab all three, plus anything they in turn depend on. Depending
on what that entails, building everything could take a while, and if
you've installed GnuDarwin stuff, there could be some conflicts arising
from that. It might be worth logging the build process so that you can
examine it later -- and send things to the list -- if anything goes wrong:
% sudo fink install sawfish bundle-gnome gimp |&
tee ~/log_fink-gnome-sawfish-gimp.txt
That |& pipes the output & the errors to the 'tee' command, which will
record a log to a filename I made up. Use whatever makes sense for you.

Nah, they're separate components. Enlightenment is one of several window
managers that can sit on top of X11, as well as one of a smaller number of
managers that Gnome can work optimally with (also including Sawfish and
some others). Gnome has to have a window manager running with it ("under
it"? kinda, not really, but good enough), but you have several to chooose
from, including Enlightenment and Sawfish. On the other hand, you can use
Enlightenment without Gnome just fine -- for that matter you can use any
window manager without also running Gnome.
