        What has been said may be true, but the problem is that when I
created a new login "a" and ran startx, gnome started without any problem
and I have customized enlightenment to my needs. The problem seems to be
only in the login "g". The same result with another new test login I
created. Why a problem with only that login name? BTW, in "g", after startx,
the enlightenment progress bar completes and then only do I get stalled with
that grey mesh with a pointer. So obviously, the window manager has been
invoked.
        Just for fun, anybody knows how to make a login have only
enlightenment as windowmanager (without gnome). Anything like wmaker.inst
for E?

Thanks a lot
Gautam.
