This means either:
The command to start enlightenment is incorrect.
The search paths you are using are not available to KDM.
The file you are using to start enlightenment is NOT executable.
The "last" enlightenment command is not backgrounded "&" to prevent E from
exiting.
There is a permissions problem with some or all of the files...
