You obviously don't realise some of the effort I've been goign to in E
for exmaple of protecting idiots form themselves... :) liek try run
0.14 if another WM is runing and actually let it edit yer startup stuff
for u.. :)

what like linking libs to other shared libs like linux? :) the problem
is that this isn't universally supported under all os's and libtool
currently is "borken" as in it doesnt link a shared lib against others
as it cannto safely determine if this is possible or not right now..
I'm simply biding my time waiting for them to fix libtool - this will
fix this "problem"
