While testing window managers (Enlightenment) system seems to die

Some more information - when going through the normal login process and selecting any of the WMs I have installed the monitor will blank. After sitting there for a few minutes I can Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a terminal then Ctrl-Alt-F7 will bring up Gnome but only Gnome. it seems like the system will not recognize any of the WMs I select at the login screen.

A bit more information that may help - I just discovered that Enlightenment will come up just fine when logged into the 'guest' account. That tells me something is messed up in my account but I'm not sure where.

Here is more information that I'm providing. The below is steps I have to take to log-in to the system. Enlightenment will no longer come up for me at all.

I had been logged into Gnome and logged out and attempted to log into Enlightenment. When the log-in screen came
up I selected Enlightenment from my list of Window Managers (the wheel icon is gone so have to move the mouse around until I find it. I selected Gnome, entered my password. The screen went black and I waited for it to start. Nothing happened - I pressed Ctrl-Alt-F1, logged into the console then startx. After some delay Gnome finally came up. This
afternoon I was hoping somehow it had fixed itself so I logged out, selected Gnome, and waited. Apparently I waited too long as no matter what combination of Ctrl-Alt-F* I pressed nothing happened. I had to SSH into the desktop from my tablet and do a reboot from there. When the log-in screen came up I selected Gnome, entered PW and right to the black screen. This time I waited about 30sec and did the Ctrl-Alt-F1, logged in and ran startx. After a small delay Gnome did come up.
However at no time can I get Enlightenment to come back up. Testing the 'guest' account there are no issues with logging into Gnome or Enlightenment. I haven't tried the other WMs I have with the guest account

I'm going to have to change this question because the problem no longer is with just Enlightenment. I'll start a new question tomorrow. Not sure whether the admins can mark this one solved (though it isn't) or just delete it.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.
