I am using RedHat 8.0, and I just installed Enlightenment. How can I be able to run it from the graphical login screen?

Second - does anyone know where to get a Bluecurve theme for Enlightenment?

well Ill answer your first question about redhat and drop down menu for selecting window managers. First off make a file that says the following:
#!/bin/sh
exec enlightenment

(sidenote you might have to put the full path for enlightenment such as /usr/bin or whatever but I doubt very much that this will be the case)

Secondly: save this file to /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions (must be root to save it there)

Thirdly: set the perms of this file to 755 making it executable.

This works for any window manager by the way that I've ever tried just of course replace enlightenment with whatever.

Im sure a search on themes will answer your second question.
