GNOME effects?

[silentstriker]

I really like the GNOME desktop, however, I recently installed Enlightnment and I like 3 things:


1) The slide effect when moving between workspaces
2) Eterm
3) The ripple effect at bottom

My question: How can I do those things under Gnome?

Or is this not possible?


Any help is appreciated.

Just use Enlightenment as a window manager while running Gnome. I've never done this before, but I think you have to open up the Gnome Control Panel and select Enlightenment under the "Window Manager" tab. Tell me if it works.

BTW, please don't double post.

Sorry, made a mistake in the forum which I was posting.

As for using enlightnment...there is no such thing under any control panel I can find.

you could change metacity to enlightenment in rc.conf, I don't know if it will work, probably not, but, you can try it, tell us if you have any luck with that one.

I am using Mandrake 10.1

Did updatedb, and then locate rc.conf.

It does not exist on my system.

I would think it would have something to do with ~/.xinitrc perhaps.

You can try something like

exec enlightenment &
exec gnome-session

in your ~/.xinitrc file. But it might be more complicated than that.

Hmm, my .xinitrc looks like this:

exec /usr/bin/enlightenment



Yet, Enlightenment does not boot up, but whatever I select on the Mandrake boot manager does (usually GNOME).
