Gnome is a desktop environment, not a window manager. When you started gnome you probably had it configured to use enlightenment as the wm. You can choose which wm you want to use in gnome by clicking on the toolbox on the panel. One of the options is window manager, there should be everal in there to choose from. -- Alex (Go easy on me, I'm a COBOL programmer in real life)

[newbie] Gnome Desktop looks like Enlightenment
Maybe my newbieness is really showig here but I was checking out the other desktops last night and after I check out Enlightenment I checked out Gnome. I got the Gnome task bar and file manager and etc. but it had Enlightenment window borders and desktop menus. Did something get screwed up or is this how things work?
Helix Gnome KDE (was RE: [newbie] Gnome Desktop looks like Enlightenment)
Is it obvious how to make it not use the Enlightenment as the window manager? I was checking out www.HelixGnome.com and wanted to try that out has anyone tried this yet? Can I still use my KDE apps with Gnome? Gnome must be different than KDE or BlackBox or Enlightnement, I thought it was a Window Manager but I guess not? -Original Message- From: Daniel J.

Gnome uses the Enlightenment window manager. It can also use a couple others as well. Dan
Re: Helix Gnome KDE (was RE: [newbie] Gnome Desktop looks like Enlightenment)
Both KDE and GNOME are shells which can run on top of the window manager of your choice. I run KDE on sawmill and GNOME on enlightenment. Helix-Gnome has become my desktop of choice. Most Kde apps can be run from the menu and all can be run from terminal.
