However, if you +want to run GMC you may notice that clicking on the root window does not +always have the desired effect (for dragging icons, GMC's root menus, etc). +If you want to use GMC with enlightenment, there are a couple of options. You +can use alt+leftmouse and alt+rightmouse to use the GMC root menus. Or, you +can edit the keybindings.cfg file to remove the bindings for your left and +right +mousebuttons. There is a copy of keybindings.cfg that will do this for you +that comes with enlightenment. in /path/to/enlightenment/configs/ +copy the keybindings.gmc.cfg into your ~/.enlightenment directory. When you +restart, you will no longer have the left and right mousebuttons bound to +enlightenment. To modify your system configuration, copy over the +keybindings.cfg file in that directory. For your convenience, there is a +keybindings.nogmc.cfg in case you want to reverse this change at a later date. + +NOTE: you may choose to use virtual areas instead of virtual desktops since +GMC does not handle clicks anywhere on the root window on desktops other than +0. +If you want to start enlightenment from gnome-session, you should use the +gnome control-panel to select the new enlightenment as your window manager. +Warning: Enlightenment is slower when run from a session manager. You should +opt to run enlightenment and have enlightenment be your session manager +instead of running gnome-session. You can start "panel" and "gmc" by hand and +have enlightenment relaunch them as the preferred launch method. To do this, +once you have launched them by hand, alt-rightclick on them, select "Remember" +and then choose "Restart Application on Login". + + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Q: How do I set up Enlightenment to work with KDE? + +A: By default, Enlightenment does not support the KDE hints. You can turn them +on easily through your settings menus, however. If you want to add support +automatically upon launch (which can be disabled by the autosaved user +configuration) then copy the control.kde.cfg to the ~/.enlightenment directory +and rename it to control.cfg. If you are doing this after launching +enlightenment for the first time, you will want to remove the line from your +~/.enlightenment/...e_session.XXXXXX file that looks like:
+1366 0 +simply remove that line and start up enlightenment again. +If your "KDE Support" _settings(settings) panel still show KDE support +turned on, then +you can simply check the box there, and KDE support will remain on. +You can launch kpanel and/or kfm from your .xsession or .xinitrc files and +they will work correctly. If you want to edit the startkde script +(system-wide configuration change) find the line that contains kwm and replace +it with /path/to/enlightenment. + -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
