I guess I don't understand what you did to configure the X login for E;
did you an Enlightenment script to the Gdm sessions dir?  Are you using
Gdm, Xdm, or Kdm?  RedHat should default to Gdm (depending on your
install options).  Here's what I did to add E to my Gdm login screen:

On a recent RedHat (7.x) and probably also Mandrake, go to the
/etc/X11/gdm/sessions directory and add a script like the others called
"Enlightenment" (or whatever you want to see on the gdm menu).  Put the
line "exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession enlightenment" in it.  Then edit the
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession script and add the following:

...
case $1 in 
    failsafe) 
       exec -l $SHELL -c "xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0" 
       ;; 
    enlightenment) 
       exec -l $SHELL -c "enlightenment" 
       ;; 
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I added the above three lines.*
    gnome) 
       exec -l $SHELL -c "gnome-session" 
       ;; 
...


The correct defaults were already set for esound, so I added the
following to the top of the above Xsession script:

...
xsetroot -solid '#5477A0' 
esdctl resume, on 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I added the above line.*
#xscreensaver-command -exit 
#xscreensaver & 
...

Now Enlightenment starts with sound again.  I have an sblive value, with
the default OSS/free sound module configuration.

HTH, Steve
