I've just heard that E (Enlightenment http://www.enlightenment.org ) is slated
to ship in combination with GNOME as RH's primary WM.

I kind of figured this would be the case since raster (E's inventor) is now
working for RHAD.

This makes me confident in my idea to do the same.  

I've been using E extensively for the last month to give it a good test run and
found a few minor bugs in it.  I have been assured by raster himself that these
bugs are going to be wiped out in the next release.  And why not, he has
commercial backing now.  I think E is going to become well refined because of
this.

I will be asking raster if his employment by RHAD is going to change E's
license or if he can assure me it will remain GPL'd.
