Gnome doesn't rely on a particular window manager, and it sounds like you
don't like the default one. I'm rather attached to WindowMaker from when it
had good features but was still fast on my 486.

Now Enlightenment, that is the spawn of the devil and a secret plot by Intel
and graphics card manufactures to sell more stuff. It's possible you got it
by default.
