Hi Michael,

If its any consolation, I'm running Enlightenment on RH 9.  I sort-of
like metacity but I'm just plain more comfortable with E.  And I agree
that the default Gnome WMs seemed to get more dumbed-down recently.  Its
annoying.  But maybe less bells and whistles is somehow easier/better
for those doing support for the more "average" desktop users?  Whatever
the reasons, I'm not thrilled.

Anyway, if you want, I can try to locate the RH 9 Enlightenment RPMs
that I used.  I either built them from SRPMs or got them pre-built from
Sean.  [Thanks again to Sean for all those RPMs!]

Ed
