Emerged Enlightenment, but it doesn't show up in the KDM Menu|Sessions
choices. I tried to search for an answer, but couldn't come up with
anything. /usr/share/xsessions has no enlightenment.desktop, a file
which is not anywhere in my system. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

look in /etc/X11/Sessions
you may have to write your own e.desktop.

From the /usr/share/e16/misc directory, there is an e16.desktop file. It
reads:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=E16
Comment=This session starts the Enlightenment (e16) window manager
Exec=starte16
Icon=
Type=Application

This is for e16.8.0. If you are not using the enlightenment cvs build,
then the directory _may_ be /usr/share/enlightenment for 16.7.2. The
desktop file should be in the misc directory or somewhere in there.

If I may suggest though, use enlightenment-0.16.9999 and add

x11-wm/enlightenment -* to your package.keywords file. The cvs version is
very solid, and has so many enhancements to 16.7.x.
