Tom, I dug into my notes and this popped up, but not sure it would be of help: One person had the same issue and he got to this directory: $HOME/.e/e/config/standard" and found files such as: "e_randr.cfg" plus "e_randr.1.cfg" thru "e_randr.9.cfg"
I'm wondering if those are the config files you could edit? Not really sure. Mark PS - You did better than I did and I saved your notes incase I come across this again.
