Sadly, this happens in the Mandrake 9.1 version of E DR 0.16.5 too.  I
found that the menus I wanted
Were located in /etc/X11/enlightenment and they were ugly and
fragmented.
I never tried to figure out how to get them to work either.

Do what I did, download the 0.16.5 source and compile it (uninstall the
Redhat E rpm first of course).  Make sure when you run ./configure you
specify YOUR libpng headers and libraries, otherwise you won't be able
to get any textures in E (i.e. it will be hosed).
When the compile is done, install it (as root).  Then run the
<enlightenment_home>/enlightenment.install script as yourself
(non-root).  Then turn off the graphical login, so you boot into the
command line.  
Log out.  Then log back in and execute xinit or startx.  Enlightenment
should start!!
