Re: Helix-Gnome on Alpha -- Window Manager

[Blake Carlson <blake-carlson uiowa edu>]

I saw Hans' problem.  Helix-gnome startup thingy gave a message like "not
a gnome-compliant window manager" and gnomecc showed Enlightenment as the 
"current window manager".

We fixed it by selecting TWM as the WM and logging out and back in.  Then
we selected Enlightenment and logged out and back in which fixed the
problem.  

I didn't have any problems with my upgrade.  Helix-gnome picked
Enlightenment as my WM by default.

Everything works well except for the CD player (gtcd). 

Thanks a bunch for making the rpm's available :)
