It seems there's a link in /etc/alternatives that points to the window manager in use.

sudo rm /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/enlightenment /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager

startx

And up it came in enlightenment.

I think a less "destructive" way to enable another window manager after it is installed. Edit /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common-start and remark the fluxbox line by putting a # at the start of the line. Then add whatever window manager you want.

change the line:

/usr/bin/fluxbox

with:

# /usr/bin/fluxbox
/usr/bin/enlightenment

and it should start enlightenment..

.. I think ..

Worked Great for enlightenment Cappy. Sad thing is when KDE is installed it isn't in "/usr/bin/" I dont know where it is, but maybe that would work. I just, Yeah, I love DSL, but Fluxbox is not my native environment, so its a little odd to me.

Thanks.
