Can you edit the enlightenment desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/ and add the line numlockx &?

Well admittedly I haven't used GDM for a year or so. You could try:
| Code: | | Exec=numlockx &; enlightenment -theme winter |
Although I have no idea if it would work. I'd probably make a script called /usr/bin/startenlightenment like this:
(Don't forget to chmod 0755 /usr/bin/startenlightenment)
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
numlockx &
enlightenment -theme winter |
and then use:
| Code: | | Exec=/usr/bin/startenlightenment |
I hated GDM when I tried it and went back to XDM for precisely these kinds of reasons.
