Trying to recall the steps needed from way back. I can only recall the 
basics.
You need to add enlightenment to your sessions.
You need to stop metacity.
You need to save the gnome session.

The last time that I used enlightenment for a replacement window manager 
was back for FC2 or FC3. There might be some info in the earlier archives.

Just for info, there is a new window manager called compiz which is in 
development. I believe it has 3D goodies and can replace metacity for a WM.
