I've not got a RedHat 6.0 box here, but the setup is usually the same. Depending upon whether you are starting from a xdm (graphical login) session, or the command line, you need to alter either .xinitrc or .Xsession in your home directory.<br>
<br>
Look for the line that contains something like "exec enlightenment" and change as required.<br>
<br>
As to the timeout feature, I dont't think there is such a beast. What kind of problem are you talking about? Is X totally hanging? Is a program hanging, but the rest of X is OK?<br>
<br>
If X is hanging, try hitting Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to crash out of X. If it's hanging regularly, you might want to consider chaning your window manager to something a little more resource friendly, like WindowMaker.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.
