switch to user installed window manager without root

[jaddison]

I have built and installed enlightenment, E17, in my own account. I want to use, but I dont have root. In general, how can I use a window manager, that I have built and installed as a regular user, without having root (to edit Xsession/gdm files)?

I have tried entering the following in my own .Xclients, .Xclients-default, and .xsession files:

#!/bin/bash
. $HOME/.bash_profile # needed?
exec /home/jra/enl/bin/enlightenment

Which hasen't worked.

Thanks

If you can access root, open a terminal and type 'su -' with your root password and then you can use gedit to make the modifications. If you do NOT have root powers, check with your sysadmin to see if he/she will configure it for you.
