This is Enlightenment's fault for not following updated standards,
iirc.  I suggest you point Enlightenment's developers over to
freedesktop.org, or switch to a window manager intended to work with a
desktop environment.  You can't expect gnome to hold back on adding new
features that require newer _standard_ WM specs just because of l337
users that "need" exotic WM's...  Even if for whatever reason Metacity
or the newer Sawfish do not have enough weird and useless features for
you, plenty of other WM's have already incorporated the newer standards
and work fine.  And, as a final note, as Enlightenment is becoming it's
own desktop shell, it will make itself incompatible with gnome/kde (this
taken from the Enlightenment website).
